traditional hunting
Old-way game tracking
Traditional hunting refers to hunting practices passed down through generations, often by indigenous or rural communities, using customary methods, knowledge, and sometimes ancestral lands.
The term usually implies subsistence or cultural purposes rather than sport: Traditional hunting rights are protected under the treaty.
It may also describe hunting with older technologies—bows, spears, or traps—as opposed to modern firearms.
