Hunting is still vital in marginal climates, especially those unsuited for pastoral uses or agriculture. Inuit peoples in the Arctic trap and hunt animals for clothing, and produce complicated parkas consisting of up to 60 stitched pieces capable of withstanding sub-zero temperatures. From the skins of sea mammals they may make water-proof kayaks, clothing, gloves and footwear.

A literature of forest management arose alongside the literature on the aristocratic virtues of hunting.

Ross Lake Camps is a Maine hunting camp with a group of very remote cabins located deep within the North Maine Woods, near the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. The camps have been operated commercially for many decades.
