The Mizos are fond of all sorts of modern and indigenous games and sports. They are proficient in hunting and wrestling. Most of them are fond of fresh meat hence for that they cleverly trap their prey. At times long lines of rough fencings are placed in jungles which have small openings at some intervals. Through these openings they catch animals like pheasants; jungle-fowls etc. These animals come near to these fences and try to run along this until they find out an opening and finally they get captured. They take the help of spears to kill porcupines and trap tigers under a platform of heavy logs. They do not resort to community hunting. Muzzle loading guns are employed by them to kill wild cats, deer etc. They are even good fishermen and they catch fish with fishing rods, fishing baskets, traps, spears etc.
