King Henry VIII did hunt. He hunted wild boar and deer. One of his favourite hunting grounds is where I live at Stoke Newington, London. He had a hunting lodge round the corner from me at Newington Green. The whole area is steeped in history and kids at local schools are taught from a young age about Henry VIII and his hunting in the area.
Back in the 1500's, nobles and courtiers would pretty much hunt anything they could. In the summer, he probably hunted birds, fish, and wild animals like boar and deer. In the winter, it was difficult to hunt because of the snow that would fall , so if he did hunt (which is not likely), it was probably small game, like bird and fish.

Henry VIII was known for his interest in traditional English longbow archery. This form of archery was prominent in England during his reign and was crucial for military purposes, particularly in battles like Agincourt. Henry himself was an accomplished archer and promoted the sport as part of his military training, recognizing its importance in warfare and national defense. His passion for archery also reflected the broader cultural significance of the longbow in English society at the time.
