Hunting is the act of going out in search of, chasing, and killing wild or feral animals. The most common reasons for humans to hunt are to obtain useful animal products (meat, fur/hide, bone/tusks, horn/antler, and so on), for recreation/taxidermy (see trophy hunting), to remove predators dangerous to humans or domestic animals (e.g. wolf hunting), to eliminate pests and nuisance animals that damage crops/livestock/poultry or spread diseases (see varminting), for trade/tourism (see safari), or for ecological conservation against overpop (see culling).

Recreationally hunted animals are mainly mammals and birds, and are referred to as “game.” A hunter or (less typically) huntsman is a person who participates in a hunt; a game reserve is a natural area used for hunting; and a gamekeeper is an experienced hunter who helps arrange a hunt and/or manages the game reserve.

Many non-human animals hunt as part of their eating and parenting habits, often in numbers that surpass their immediate food demands (see predation). The predator is the one who hunts, while the prey is the one who is hunted.

Hunting was first practiced by humans in Homo erectus or before, millions of years ago. Hunting is profoundly ingrained in numerous human societies and was formerly a key element of rural economies, classed by economists as part of primary production alongside forestry, agriculture, and fishing. Lawful hunting is distinguished from unlawful poaching, which includes the unauthorized and uncontrolled killing, trapping, or capture of animals (see game legislation).

Hunting may serve as a measure of population control in addition to providing food. Hunting supporters argue that regulated hunting can be an important part of modern wildlife management, for example, to help maintain a healthy proportion of animal populations within an environment’s ecological carrying capacity when natural checks like natural predators are absent or insufficient, or to fund breeding programs and the upkeep of natural reserves and conservation parks.

Excessive hunting, on the other hand, has played a significant role in the endangerment, extirpation, and extinction of numerous creatures. Hunting is viewed as a brutal, perverted, and pointless blood sport by certain animal rights and anti-hunting campaigners.

Even some sportsmen believe that some hunting techniques, such as canned hunts and ludicrously paid/bribed trophy tours (particularly to poor nations), are unethical and exploitative.
