 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'. Some people on the leftist side of the political spectrum feel that hunting for sport should be regulated far more than it is, or possibly banned entirely on the grounds that it damages wildlife. It has been pointed out before though, that large amounts of money made in the game industry go to environmental conservation, and without hunting, they would have very little money to fund their efforts. Hunting is also a multimillion-dollar business that puts money in the hands of many purveyors of hunting supplies.

 Different types of hunting can refer to the different types of species hunted.  These include big game such as [[elk]], [[bear]], [[moose]], and [[deer]]; small game such as [[rabbit]]s and [[squirrel]]s; game birds such as [[grouse]] and [[pheasant]]; and waterfowl such as [[duck]]s and [[goose|geese]].  There also exist different methods of hunting, such as hunting in place from a tree stand, or hunting on foot which involves the skills of [[tracking]] and [[stalking]].
