What does the term 'sport' refer to, when someone is 'hunting for sport'?

when your hunting your involved in physical activity. no if's or buts about it, its hard work tracking and shooting a deer.

If its on Sports Center its a sport right? ha ha I agree though it is merely fun and enjoyment.

[discraftdg]

well if you compare it to some other sports i would say that it is a hundred percent!

Poker is high risk/high reward gambling similar to penny stocks or currency trading. But with higher variance, and more swings.

I don't consider it a sport, but if you want to call it that, so be it. But it's gambling no matter how you look at it.

weedhighROI, but what about when the hunter is sitting in a deer stand and waits for the deer to cross in front? You're not tracking, walking through brush, et cetera.
