In PA we have deer hunts, within season, within limits, and within established protocol that ensures that the herd is not destroyed. They can be a nuisance, and are a hazard to drivers. If there was no hunting, they’d starve to death from overpopulation, be destroyed by cars and trucks, other predators, etc.

Hunters are as much a part of nature as anything else. Man has been hunting his own food since our beginning. The only difference is the technology.

Everything is food for something else ultimately. Even us.

Thanks NF, I agree 100%

When I first moved in my (then) new neighborhood >10 years ago one of my neighbors gave me and others some deer meat from a kill he made hunting. I never had it before.

The problem here and I been complaining about it for >10 years, is too rapid development of open and wooded areas.

Forest after forest is destroyed to make new neighborhoods for (mainly Indian, Korean) immigrants (tax paying ones, yes,)

It causes havoc with the wildlife like deers, leaving little alternatives but hunting them.

It also requires more schools, wider roads, ...etc all costing tax $$$.
