Do PC's hunt or fish in your campaign? If so do they hunt or fish for food? Or do they hunt or fish for sport? How do you handle hunting or fishing in your campaign? Do your players regularly hunt or fish to supplement the food they bring with them? Or do they only hunt or fish for food by necessity? Assume the PCs grew up near the frontier or at least in rural areas.

I would assume hunting and foraging as necessary for extended wilderness campaigns.
I can't imagine it as sport but only as good source, at least in my campaign.

I can't recall hunting or fishing for sports, but definitely for food (or occasionally, for fur). However, I've always handled it pretty brifley, having the players roll some dice to determine the degree of success and then I've just delivered a summary description of the outcome. If the result of the dice roll have been horribly bad I might have had the PC's attacked by some predator or something like that, and then the hunt has turned into a "fight-or-flight" situation where the hunters might turn out to be the hunted...

In the outdoors my players routinely hunt and fish for food. If we ever got to the end game type of play then I could see the "baron" taking guests out on a hunt for sport. Especially if it was visiting royalty or nobility.

My Players/PCs go out on long enough trips that they have to hunt/fish/ and buy food otherwise they would starve. They sometimes head into the wilderness and don't come back for years.

I'm with Tetramorph on this one. This falls firmly in the "assumed" category for me.
Adventurers know how to adventure, and are assumed proficient (not in the AD&D fashion of that word, but hand-waive not-rolled-for ability) in a variety of sundry, supportive tasks to that end... in much the same way a cartwright knows how to care for his tools and a ship-builder may properly handle tar and pitch.

It can be fun playing it out now and then, especially if the hobbits are complaining about not enough food. |

My then-four years old granddaughter was the example in mind when I said that. When the Ranger in the party shot and butchered a caribou, her hobbit prepared the meal, waited until everyone had their served portion, then proceeded to gobble the entire rest of the caribou while the rest of the party watched in shock at seeing their hobbit move so fast.

Kids are born role players, if not rolegamers. Especially little girls who have played Barbies. (When did "Barbie" become a verb?)
