I think deer hunting is okay...and actually probably most animals (with the exceptions of obvious ones). As long as it's not for the "sport", but to eat the meat. Afterall, that is the reason why certain animals were put on this earth, so that we humans could have meat to eat. I have eaten deer meat, though, and by itself, is too gamey tasting for me...it has to kinda have the taste "hidden" for me to like it My in laws family hunt , and keep all the meat and they do eat it all...
