This is a topic, of course, which could be extremely broad, as most rural people have, in the past (and still do today) hunt and/or fish a bit. This one will try to list those individuals who were notable in doing so.

Alfred the Great
Alfred the Great, widely regarded as the first King of England, and clearly the savior of the English people from the Danes, was a fanatic hunter from his youth on.
Of course, in fairness, nearly any monarch of this period would have been a hunter. But Alfred was an avid hunter.

While its surprising, given what we remember him for, Trotsky, Communist revolutionary, founder of the Red Army, and a bit of a Communist snot, was also a hunter.
Indeed, hunting figures in his downfall as he became very ill with some sort of virus while hunting ducks north of Moscow at the very point at which Lenin was dying and Stalin maneuvering against him. He didn't recover from his illness while this was occurring, and this may well have sealed his fate in the Soviet Union.

Clemens August Graf von Galen
Clemens
August Graf von Galen was a German Roman Catholic Priest who rose to be
a Cardinal. He's a famous figure for his issuance of a sermon known as
the White Rose Sermon, which was one of a series of Anti Nazi sermons
which earned him the nickname The Lion of Munster. He was a Bishop at
the time. His sermons were so stern in regards to the Nazis that Hitler
proposed having him removed but this was not done as it was feared that
this would cause the loss of any support to the government in
Westphalia, where he was located. One Nazi party official wanted to
have him executed.
He
was also a German count by birth, and like most members of that class
he was a hunter. The photograph of him above was taken in 1899, prior to
his ordination in 1904.
Von
Galen was notoriously spartan with himself, giving up almost all of the
comforts of life, save for smoking pipes. Given that, I don't know if
he hunted after his ordination.

Hong Beom-do (홍범도; Хон Бом До)
Hong Beom-do (홍범도; Хон Бом До) Korean hunter who became a revolutionary, died on this day (October 25, 1943) at age 75.
Reacting to the Japanese ban on Koreans owning firearms, which precluded hunters from their trade, he formed the 1907 Righteous Army of Jeongmi. Upon Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910 he moved to China and became, by 1919, the commander of the Korean Independence Army. It did well, but ultimately was forced to retreat to the Soviet Union in 1921, which resulted in the disarming of the army. He joined the Red Army in hopes that it might liberate Korea from the Japanese, a forlorn hope at the time.
In 1937 he was deported along with other Koreans to Kazakhstan where he died on this day. His body was repatriated to Korea in 1921.

Saint Hubert
St. Hubert was a French nobleman and the heir apparent to the seat of the Aquitane. In his youth he was a dedicated hunter, taking an interest in hunting above all other activities, particularly after his wife died in childbirth. While hunting on Good Friday at some point in the late 600s he received a vision and thereafter became a clergyman and ultimately a Bishop. He is one of several saints who are associated with having seen crosses between the horns of deer, while hunting. He is the Patron Saint of Hunters.
St. Hubert is sort of recalled in an odd fashion in the modern world, through the label on the bottle of the liquor Jaegermeister. Jaegermeister is a German alcoholic drink whose founder, Curt Mast, was a hunter. He named the drink after the position of the Master Hunter, which is an official in charge of the hunt in German law. The depiction on the bottle shows the Jaegermeister's badge, which recalls St. Hubert.

Thomas McIntyre
In Memoriam: Thomas McIntyre.
For those who follow this blog somewhat, you might have noted that in recent months there were a lot of comments from "Tom" "in Sheridan".
You may also have noticed that his last comment came when I got out of the hospital recently. His thoughtful post stated:
Three years ago, I had a surgery and four weeks n the hospital while the incision healed.
The hospital really pushed me to head to Casper to do the recuperation, but I could not understand the idea that I would want to be 140 miles from home to essentially lie in a bed. (This was pre-Covid, so patient space was not a consideration; at least I couldn't see that as a reason.) In any case I received excellent care right in the hometown. I think you know that the friends who visit you are the true ones.
Matthew 25:34-40
King James Version
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Tom
Sheridan, WY
Tom from Sheridan was Thomas McIntyre, a writer and big game hunter who lived in Sheridan. The reason for his sudden departure is his sudden departure from this life. Tom has passed on at age 70. He left us on November 3.
I'm indebted to the Stephen Bodio blog, linked in at the side as one of the outdoor blogs we follow, for posting the news. Tom commented so frequently that the sudden cessation of his comments made me wonder if I'd said something to offend him somehow, or if he just realized that he'd be in the category of "my betters" and just chose to pursue more worthwhile pursuits.
Tom's entry onto our pages here was due to a recommendation from another reader, I don't know who. He sure improved the blog with his comments, and on one occasion improved a post by correcting some of my writing. He was an obviously highly educated and thoughtful man.
He was also a big game hunter, and writer on the topic. I'd been looking forward to a book he was finishing on wild cattle, which apparently he did finish before his death. The book is entitled Thunder Without Rain. He quoted a few snippets of it here in some of his comments. Tom and I, therefore, shared that vocation, hunter, although he is much more traveled than I ever will be. My only experience with cattle is with the domestic kind, which are of course occasionally wild.
Tom and I were also co-religious, although in his comments here he was vague on the topic. I had the sense, although I didn't know him personally, that something had caused him to become nonobservant in our faith, although he obviously retained a deep knowledge of the faith and its traditions. In response to a question of mine, he'd only noted that if Mass was still being held in the catacombs, he'd be there. I noticed on his Sheridan funeral home listing, there was a short comment from "Fr. Jim", so he was obviously in contact somehow with a man of the Catholic cloth somewhere. Whatever his status was, and it wasn't clear, I hope and pray that he was reconciled in the end and that this cheerful man passed with the peace he clearly daily exhibited.

All of the Von Stauffenberg family, famous for their role in the July 20 plot against Hitler, which cost Claus his life, were avid hunters. Father Alfred was to such an extent that it was his primary vocation, being wealthy enough as a German nobleman not to have to work. They were known to use their military postings during World War Two to explore hunting opportunities.

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., actually III, the son of the President, while governor-general of the Philippines in the 1930s hunted the dwarf wild water buffalo, the tamaraw, extensively. From my upcoming book, Thunder Without Rain, to be published by Skyhorse in March, with a foreword by the Pulitzer playwright, David Mamet:
Indigenous peoples such as the Mangyan, traditionally hunted the Tamaraw with poisoned arrows, spears, dogs, traps, and by surrounding them with fire. Theodore Roosevelt III while Governor-General of the Philippine limbo colony–a concept of one historian, for lands governed by the U. S. that were not official colonies in the way English or French ones were in Africa and around the world–hunted Tamaraw, earning the name of One Shot Teddy for his marksmanship.
On D-Day, despite heart disease and arthritis, Brigadier General Roosevelt, was the highest ranking officer, and the oldest Allied man, in the first wave onto the beach at Normandy. For his efforts there, he was awarded the Medal of honor, 45 years before his father received his. Both were posthumous, III dying a week after the landing.

I'll look forward to your book coming out. When it is released, please mention that again.
Yes, it's interesting that the first President should have been the "Jr.", but was never referred to in that fashion. The fame of being President seems to have determined the naming of the later Theodore's after that.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr., (the son of the President) was a very notable personality in his own right. Quite the accomplished hunter, he was also very active in politics at one time and thee was some thought that he'd follow in his father's footsteps to the Oval Office, although he obviously did not, and instead his cousin would claim that occupancy in the relevant time period. He's well remembered for his role in D-Day, but he also had served in World War One, and was significant in the organization of the American Legion after WWI. During WWII he notably served in North Africa and I believe Italy before Operation Overlord. He was only 56 when he died, several years younger than his father, who also passed away relatively young.
Tamaraw are an animal I've never heard of. Interesting to know of them.
Somewhere around here, I have a book by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. and his brother regarding a sheep hunt in Central Asia. Very interesting.
Thanks for posting comments, by the way. They're few and far between on this blog (probably meaning that readership is also), but comments add to the quality of any blog.
Indeed, the few blogs around that I read myself that don't allow for comments, or which require a paid subscription in order to comment, are lessened by that feature.
Thank you. We don't always concur, but I am never left uninterested by the blog, which was recommended to me by a friend, and reader, in Colorado.
On the theme of the Roosevelts, Ted III's brother, Kermit, fell into the generational family curse of substance abuse. TR, Jr.'s younger brother, Elliot, who actually in his youth seemed to show more promise than the future President, was taken by drink and drugs, and was ultimately incapable of weathering the death of his wife and toddler son–while Jr. faced and came through equal tragedies. Having fathered another child out of wedlock, and re-marrying beneath the family's standards, Elliot was shuffled off to Virginia with Theodore his legal guardian, and soon died after leaping from a window–not from the fall, but likely from withdrawal in the hospital. Kermit died of self-inflicted gunshot in an Army barracks in the Aleutians during WWII. The two brothers, Kermit and III, also mounted an expedition to China where they hunted the panda! This was in an era of great expeditionary hunters, such as James Clarke on yakback in the Pamirs and Carl Akeley for mountain gorillas in the Congo, affiliated with museums. There was also the father and daughter, Bernard and Vivienne de Watteville, who collected for the Bern natural-history museum. Following them were Cuthbert Christy–a blatant racist–in the Ituri, CJP Ionides, a museum hunter of the okapi who gained his greatest fame as a collector of serpents, Richard Meinertzhagen, a British collector of mammals and birds–as well as a charlatan, if not a villain–and maybe to some degree, the late Peter Beard.
Today, Conrad's atlas, with much "white and big" in the hearts of the continents, is now all-too drearily filled in.

Truly, if you always concurred with my posts, it'd be odd. Nobody agrees with another individual, all the time.
It really was an era of great expedition hunts that will never return.
I'll have to look up de Watterville's.
