Well, I say you aren’t “helping anyone out” when you advocate large scale culling of deer herds only to abandon all that valuable meat that many of your neighbors could use for good cause, especially with the price of meat nowadays. That smacks of the 1800s buffalo slaughters! At least those guys used the hides (and sometimes tongues and other parts), but you don’t even want to do that! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!! SHEEESH

I agree with you...culling deer herds without appropriate purpose is disgusting...white trash seem to enjoy it immensely. Where else do you get the thrill of spotlighting and otherwise running the herds into a trap so that they can be simply mowed down? Given the average IQ of the people who do this (and I know some of them), I'm always somewhat surprised that they manage to outsmart the deer.
Above, I posted the link to the Iowa program where hunters can apply for extra tags to “donate” deer....the venison is processed for distribution to food pantries. Over 6300 were donated last year. The hunters get an extended season, the lockers are paid a flat fee to grind the meat for distribution, and the protein goes to those who need it.
And, for the record, I've had my share of run-ins with deer (I'm in one of the States with the highest deer populations). I also however, grew up on a large farm, with a Father who taught me to hunt, and a Grandfather who was a young adult during the Depression. Anyone who would slaughter animals indiscriminately, and then leave the “food” to rot on the ground is despicable.
Your reading comprehension is sorely lacking.
I was helping you out, as it’s clear from your posts that you need it.
