{{quote|''The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but cub, when thy whiskers are grown.''

The male counterpart of [[Feminine Women Can Cook]].
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
[[Macho Disaster Expedition|When they attempt to do so they fail spectacularly.]]
Compare [[A Real Man Is a Killer]]. In fact if a white collar [[Unlucky Everydude]] does show that he actually has manliness despite being unable to repair a car, it's likely to be because [[A Real Man Is a Killer]] and he showed it by becoming an [[Action Survivor]]. Also compare [[Real Men Eat Meat]] as hunting often acquires said meat.

== Anime & Manga ==
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Used for humor]] in ''[[Code Geass]]''. Lelouch may be a [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]] who can single-handedly win a battle thanks to his strategy... but stuck in the wilderness, he attempts to dig a deadfall in order to catch an animal...and exhausts himself before it's even two feet deep, forcing him to eat the fruits his half-sister Euphemia found with an embarrassed expression on his face the whole time. This ties in with his being a [[Non-Action Guy]]. In contrast, his much more athletic friend-slash-rival Suzaku is shown fishing bare-handed and produces more than enough food for himself and [[Action Girl|Kallen]].
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* In ''[[The Walking Dead]]'', the tougher men are more rural and know how to do things like hunt and track. More urban men like Glenn are wimpier.
* Robert Baratheon in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' is a warrior king who is shown constantly whoring, drinking, and hunting. A combination of the last two are what get him killed.
* In ''King Solomon's Mines'' the expedition stops for no purpose but to have an adventure-of-the-month shooting lots of elephant, gorging themselves on the meat and burying the ivory to pick up on the way home. Both the [[Great White Hunter|English]] and the native hirelings(including a [[Scary Black Man|Homerically awesome]] warrior prince in [[King Incognito|disguise]] )enjoy it tremendously.

Line 58:
* [[Beauty and The Beast|Gaston]] seems to think so.
* On ''[[King of the Hill]],'' Hank believes that Bobby needs to successfully kill something in order to be a real man. Bobby reluctantly agrees to go through with it at a special hunting camp, but both of them decide that bagging a captive, farm-raised deer just for the sake of killing one isn't all that sporting and they decide not to go through with it. [[Double Subversion|Then Hank lets Bobby drive the truck home, where the younger Hill accidentally hits and kills a deer.]]
==Real Life==
*In the past hunting was almost universally considered a way for aristocrats to party and to show off their badassery to each other and to the hapless proles. Hawking and pigsticking (chasing boar from horseback with a lance) were among the more common variants. Arab nobles interestingly enough went in for using tame cheetahs. Among the Mongols there was a customary hunt that was so large and required so much organization that it might be classed more as seasonal military maneuvers with animals as convenient stand ins for the enemy.
**Fox hunts which seem an absurd way to hunt fox(which seem more like an animal to chase with a shotgun or small caliber rifle)are actually descendant from boar hunts when the boar had played out in England. When English got to India to their delight they found real boars there again and found also they had [[Not So Different|at least one thing]] in common with the native nobility.
