I can't say but hunting another reason for hunting feral animals or wildlife is for recreation.
Yeah, Indians also used to hunt for food, and trade.
A lot of people hunt in the area that I live, but I never really got into it myself. I see, do they hunt by killing the animals or trap them? Hunting them to kill, I believe a bunch of the animals they go for are pests. I don't know if there's any other reason. Well, other possible reasons is for food, or remove dangerous predators, or even for trade. I bet hunting goes VERY far back! I imagine it was a huge part of our evolution.
Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, to remove predators that are dangerous to humans or domestic animals, or for trade.
