The billionaire executive talked about his bowhunting hobby in response to a comment on his recent Facebook post announcing his New Year's resolutions.

"I miss the 'I'm going to personally kill what I eat' days," a commenter said, referencing one of Zuckerberg's previous challenges in which he vowed to personally kill any meat that he ate for a year.

Zuckerberg replied that he still goes hunting, "these days mostly with a bow and arrow though." He added that his game of choice is wild boar.

It's not clear if Zuckerberg was serious about hunting wild boars - shooting "feral hogs" was a meme last year that originated from a viral tweet debating the merits of owning assault rifles. A spokesperson for Zuckerberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
