Hunting, From the Jseime dictionary of all things important:

Hunting is the practice of finding, stalking and killing an animal be it gophers coyotes deer elk or moose.

There are however exceptions, shooting varmints off a bench from a distance with a high powered rifle is simply shooting and shooting deer from a treestand over a bait station while wearing full camo and scent covers is simply shooting.

Hunting requires skill and knowledge as well as being able to shoot well in almost any situation. The real hunters are the people out on the prairie crawling over the top of a hill trying to get within a couple hundred yards to make a clean shot or the people crawling through the forest with a .30-30 trying to get to the edge of the clearing to make that 50 yard snap shot.
