Who is the most famous hunter in America? If you're over 30, the first names that come to mind are probably Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent or Dick Cheney. If you're under 30, the answer is easier. The most famous hunter in America is Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder of Facebook.

In May 2011 Mr. Zuckerberg made a pledge to consume, for one year, only meat he had hunted or slaughtered himself. He got a hunting license and shot a bison. "My personal challenge," he explained, is "being thankful for the food I have to eat."
