Whilst I have no interest in bull fighting I`m not against it and it can hardly be classed as a sport ,(I hunt wild boar,deer etc) ,bulls are predicatble and anyone whos worked with cattle will agree the chances of the bull getting the upper hand are very low when you have a sword and half a dozen guys on hand to help,.Now if the odds were 50/50 then I `d be buying a front row seat!! It would be hilarious to see some ponce in his pink leggings getting a horn up his __s![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

,seriously ,with a rifle and yes I see it as a sport , you can spend days tracking or waiting for wild boar and still come away with nothing ,when your luck is in you get enough meat for a month!!

I was pulling your leg.
Some years ago I found myself living in Wyoming where the hunting season means everything (employment and tourism). Friends worked as "trackers" and I should guess-timate that only 1 in 10 shots resulted in a "clean" kill. Most would need to be tracked and could cover some considerable ground. From shot to dispatch was sometimes as long as a couple of hours, with many taking at least 1/2 an hour.
In bullfights, the deeds are done in around 15 mins.
The only difference are the presence of spectators.
PS: I hunted with a compound bow.

Hunting in Spain is very big business and stictly controlled by the Junta and Guardia ,you have to complete a course to get a license , then you can apply for a firearms certificate.

No open season on wild boar unless you are getting crop damage then I think you have to get a special hunting license as oppossed to a normal one from the guardia civil /COAG ,normal season is sept to feb but this can vary region to region.
