Humans display a great variety of hunting methods, numbering up to 24 hunting methods.

Hunting success is also measured in humans, but due to their unnaturally high hunting success, human hunters can have a big effect on prey population and behaviour, especially in areas lacking natural predators, recreational hunting can have inferences for wildlife populations.

Hunting success rate focuses on the percentage of successful hunts. Similar to hunting success, kill rates are the number of animals an individual predator kills per time unit. Different predation strategies can also contribute to hunting success, for example, hunting in groups gives predators an advantage over a solitary predator, and pack hunters like lions can kill animals that are too powerful for a solitary predator to overcome, like a megaherbivore. Prey animals that are in poor health are targeted and this contributes to the predator's hunting success. Predators selectivity target certain categories of prey, in particular prey of a certain size. Hunting success is determined by a number of factors such as the features of the predator, timing, different age classes, conditions for hunting, experience, and physical capabilities. In ecology, hunting success is the proportion of hunts initiated by a predatory organism that end in success.
