Hunting and war are alike in their own ways. Hunting and war both have a common goal. That goal is to destroy your enemy. In each there are two sides. in war and hunting you kill something. There are many similar qualities to each hunting and war.
Although there are similarities to war and hunting the are also differences. In war you are against a person or a group of people. While in hunting you are against an animal unless you are in "The Most Dangerous Game". In hunting you are in the woods. In war you are on a battlefield. As seen hunting and war are two different subjects and are able to be compared and contrasted.

I do think hunting and war are comparable because. You are having the same basic concept of getting rid of an enemy. Also they are similar because with both of them you want the same outcome of being the victor. Even though they do have some similarities they are both different . With war you are going after a bigger target not just singling out one person. With hunting you could jut be going for one specific thing like an animal or a person.

War and Hunting are very much the same. Many important aspects are shared by both of them. One important aspect used in both is stealth. Stealth is used in hunting because when you hunt you are sneaking up on prey. In war stealth is used to sneak up on an enemy base or something related to that.
Another element to both war and hunting are weapons. Throughout history every major world military has used weapons ,be it swords, cannons or just modern day rifles. With hunting I am sure you would want to use a weapon, I cant imagine killing animals with your hands would be the least bit desirable. One last comparison is that the motive of both of these is to kill. In war you are trying to kill your enemy before they kill you. Although in hunting it is just for food or money. In those aspects hunting and war are the same.

War and hunting are both alike and different. While at war or hunting you are looking for a common end, to get the other opponent. When you hunt, you are searching for your prey and trying to strike them down. While at war, you are searching for your enemy and trying to defeat them. In both hunting and war you are searching and striving to beat the other opponent.
War and hunting are also associated to hiding and/ or stalking. You have to hide from either your enemy or your prey. After you find them you have to stalk them until you find a point in where their guard is off. Hunting and war are also linked in the category of weapons. If you want to strike down the other opponent, you need to use weapons.

In my mind, I believe that hunting and war are comparable. I believe this because you can hunt people or go to war with people. You can hunt or go to war for fun or for revenge. Hunting is mostly used for our food source, for example pigs. Whereas war is used mostly for people. War is usually about fighting for one side of a fight and hoping to win and not die. Although with hunting, it is usually about killing an animal. With hunting you eat the animal that you catch/kill and with war you do not. Also with war, you are fighting for revenge or something bigger while hunting does not involve fighting. This is why I feel that hunting and war are both comparable with this story, Lord of The Flies.

War and hunting are very similar. Because in war and hunting your trying to kill your enemy. In war you kill your opponents, but with hunting you could kill people and animals. When hunting you are in the woods not in the open. In war you are in an open area or in on a battle field.
Also in hunting you are focusing on one target. When fighting In war you are looking in all different directions. Hunting you try to get as close as you can to the animal your trying to catch. In war you just try to kill your enemy before they kill you.

War and hunting are alike because in both you are going after a living being trying to kill it. The difference is that hunting is for food, whereas in war you are killing them for a cause. Also, hunting is in a field or forest, when war could be anywhere. Hunting can only happen in certain places.
War is also more serious than hunting. War has a much more serious motive than hunting, which is mostly for sport. Hunting only becomes serious if you are doing it for your own survival.

Jack compares hunting to war. In my opinion, you can’t compare these two things. People hunt to provide food for their families and communities. Also, people hunt animals, not other human beings. These are two huge differences between war and hunting. There is no comparison to be made between war and hunting.
Many times people hunt to provide food for their family or community. They do this to survive. Hunting is apart of life. War is something brave people do to protect their home. There is a huge difference between hunting to provide for your family and going to war to protect your country. Also, hunting doesn’t involve killing other humans. It involves killing animals. To compare that to war just isn’t fair. In war, real people are dying every day. Hunting doesn’t have that happen. That is why I would not compare war to hunting.

I think that hunting and war are both similar and different. How are they similar? You're trying to defeat both your opponent so by doing that, you want to find their weak spot and always one step ahead of them.
How are they different? When you're hunting you're hunting animals/different species. When at war you're fighting the enemy/people, people who are against in you're beliefs.

In my opinion hunting is sort of like war and is not like war, the reason i think this is because war is tow or more individuals or groups fighting against each other. in hunting we are versing another thing, which is the animal we are hunting. while the animal is fending for itself we are chasing after it. This is somewhat like war because in a way we are still going after them.
Hunting is not like war in a way because the animal is not fighting back, however in hunting there is violence just like there is in war. in war the groups or teams fight against each other. the animal does not normally fight back. in fighting if you shoot the animal will run away and most likely not fight back. so in a way hunting is sort of like war and in not like war at the same time.
