		By definition, hunting excludes the killing of individual animals that have become dangerous to humans and the killing of vermin as a means of pest control.
		Although hunting also technically excludes wildlife management to maintain a population of animals within an environment's carrying capacity, regulatory and licensing bodies may restrict the bag limit such that only animals in excess of the environment's carrying capacity may be harvested.
		Hunting gives resource managers a valuable tool to control populations of some species that might otherwise exceed the carrying capacity of their habitat and threaten the well-being of other wildlife species, and in some instances, that of human health and safety [4].

		By definition, hunting excludes the killing of individual animals that have become dangerous to humans and the killing of non-game animals, domestic animals, or vermin (or "varmints") as a means of pest control.
		Hunting may be a component of modern wildlife management, but is only a portion, sometimes used to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity.
		Neither is it considered hunting to pursue animals without intent to possibly kill, as in wildlife photography or birdwatching, or to "hunt" for plants (such as mushrooms).

	Medieval Crossbows
		These Medieval Crossbows were used in open warfare as well as for hunting and were widely employed in England through the time of Elizabeth.
		In fact, the large crossbow was more powerful than any longbow and whereas the lighter crossbows were quite effective for use in the field by armor clad soldiers, the large and giant crossbow were used in the attack and defense of fortified places such as castles.
		These giant crossbows were crucial in attack and were able to shoot a bolt or burning missile with such power to impale a stone wall, however the castle tower afforded an advantageous position for their use as the bolts had a much farther reach when employed at the top of a fortified wall.
