Modern hunting is usually either [[bowhunting]] with a [[bow (weapon)|bow]] and [[arrow]], or [[gun hunting]] with a [[rifle]] or [[shotgun]]. Hunters may use primitive tools such as [[sling]]s, [[spear]]s and a [[selfbow]] or more technically advanced equipment such as the [[compound bow]] and [[gun]].
Modern hunting is usually either [[bowhunting]] with a [[bow (weapon)|bow]] and [[arrow]], or [[gun hunting]] with a [[rifle]] or [[shotgun]]. Primitive hunters used such tools as [[sling]]s and [[spear]]s, or a simple longbow. Modern bowhunters use technically advanced equipment such as the [[compound bow]].
Animals hunted for sport are often referred to as '[[game animal]]s' or '[[game]]'. In modern times hunting is regulated including the [[license|licensing]] of hunters, specified hunting seasons for each species, and strict limits on the number of animals one is permitted to take per season or per day. Often special stamps or tags are required for some species in addition to the regular hunting license. [[Poaching]] is the illegal act of hunting in violation of these laws, such as hunting out of season or more than the legal limit. The legal limit is often called the 'bag limit'.
