Hunting was a favourite
sport amoung Egypts noblemen. Hunting provided them with
excitement,
danger,
animal skins to hang up, and a good
meal.
The animals they hunted for were
Wild Bulls,
Lions, and
Rabbits. The
weapons used were
spears and
bows. The hunters were accompanied by long-legged hunting
dogs.
If the hunter wanted to make sure of his hunting success, he would build an enclosure of nets and posts, he would then drive the animal into it, and finally kill the poor animal for leisure.
If you were into hunting on water, the Nile was perfect. Hunters on papyrus boats, could harpoon hippoptamuses and crocodiles, and catch some fish aswell.
