let me get this straight - you say the deer population will starve to death
and go extinct if we don't hunt and kill deer? Are you serious? There is a
deer population problem. If we don't hunt the deer, some will starve. but
they won't all starve, and they won't go extinct because of underhunting -
that's just not the way ecosytems work. A hard winter with waaaayyy too
many deer could easily lead to the detah of a huge number of deer and you
would see a wildly varying population, but not extinction.

I am not a hunter, and I don't like fishing either, but you are free to hunt
and fish anything that is in abundance. And you can maybe make yourself
(and some others) feel better by saying "they would starve anyway".

I think deer shouldn't be shot because the wolves need something to eat -
you aren't one of those hunter/rancher dudes that thinks wolves are bad
because they eat the cute little lambs, are you???

(please note sarcasm in the above post)


Hey Alex,
Why don't you do a little research on the subject before you form an
opinion? Or are you one fo those tree huggers that thinks a deer
shouldn't
be shot because it's cute, or pretty. Gimme a break. What you don't know
is that the deer population would starve to death and possibly become
extinct if it weren't for the hunting season. Besides, about 99.999
percent
of the people that hunt actually eat it!
