I understand hunters who hunt to eat. But I don't understand hunting for sport. I grew up in New York City and have been a city guy all my life, so I have not been exposed to hunting. But why kill a living animal for sport?

I'll toss out a few bones and see who pounces:

The challenge.

It gets one out of the house.

It is a blood ritual. (done on 'innocent' animals instead of fellow humans in this case)

Bonding ritual for those that hunt in packs.

An excuse to exhibit power over something (Freud must have had something to say about all this)

For practice - so you can be sure to hit your spouse on the first shot. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
