Over populate, over graze then die by mass starvation or something Like CWD will spread thru them and they all die.

There is a state park near here that did not hold it's hunting season for several years a while back. The deer had lost their fear of man and were greatly overpopulated. You could drive through the park at 2:00 in the afternoon, following a caravan of twenty or thirty cars and count over 150 deer. They had eaten every green thing within reach and were destroying trees left and right (eating the bark) The whole park was in danger of ecological collapse. Lost most of its small critters and native plant life.

Finally scheduled a hunt after trying to relocate and/or sterilize the deer didn't work. Harvested 1500 or so and the park is returning back to normal.

Treehuggers never learn, the sportsmen have managed the wioldlife in this country for 200 years. The hunters know what they are doing.

I agreed with all your points on that post til this one, then ya lost me. I can think of a few times when the "managing" was not too good. Can you?
