Do You Agree With Deer Hunting?????

[Karen]

Deer populations do not need to be controled by guns.

I have seen on T.V where people catch the bucks that mate with the females and put them to sleep for a while, in the time these people neuter the male bucks so they produce less babies when there set free again.

Not all male bucks will mate all the time.There is a leader that will defend the females from other males, fights will occure and the winner usualy gets all the does...so then its that deer that needs to be neutered.

This is a way to keep a population down instead of shooting the poor things.

If only people would use there brains, a challenge is no good reason to shoot a living thing it hurts the animal no matter what.Wolves populations have gone down because of too many high ways being built near there homes and the pups these wolfs produce get run over by cars, no wounder deer have rised in population...because of humans.

Its up to Humans to fix the things we did wrong not kill them.

Do you have any data on how much time and effort it would take to do that, never mind the huge amout of dollars? And what would you do with the extra hundreds of thousands of deer that now exist? And how would you be sure of getting enough of the bucks, when many of the poulation exist in forests away from human habitation?

Wolves used to be shot - in huge numbers - by ranchers and farmers, and others who regarded them as nuisances. I think that has a lot more to do with the lack of wolves than highways being built, frankly.

Yes, we - the humans - created this problem, so we - the humans - need to fix it. Whatever method works should be used, and probably a combination of methods. But there are people who hunt and use the meat well and wisely. And in doing do, they help manage the deer population, but also don't need to buy as much meat from commericial farmers, so can have a positive impact on the food supply as well.

I realy don't care how much money would go into an effort like that, as long as less animals are being shot it's fine with me, I swear if I had money I would throw it into all this research..if only I did.

Yes thats what I mean, its the wolfes that need to be re-populated in the wild because there numbers are going down (I seen this on WWF) and with numbers going down deer are poping up everywhere then those deer starve from not enough food...if there where more wolfes to hunt them then maybe somthing good could come towards the deer from this, they would have more food and there numbers in population would be even.

Sounds kinda weird because the deer are going to be kept down by hungrey wolfes but at least its natural & not man made, I would not have it any other way as a matter of fact.

The difference between a wolf eating a deer and a human doing the same is what, exactly?

Wolfs are natural in this Humans are just a pest at this.

I belive only Native's should be able to hunt.

Don't ask why, because if I explain it im sure no one shall understand it.
