If there weren't hunters in NJ, we'd have an EVEN bigger deer problem then we already do. I, too, believe that every part, if not all parts of the animal should be used. However, alot of people I know are in it for the sport as well as for food. They do both. Like I said, New Jersey had a huge deer population problem. Ask my brother, he got into a huge accident thanks to a 4 point huge buck. Sometimes, they have a bear season as well depending on the population up north.

I never understood why people always said 'if you can't kill your own meat don't eat it' or whatever. That's one of the absurd things I have ever heard. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if you eat meat from a butcher or that comes from a farm (especially huge commercial farms) and are against hunting (even for food), well you might be surprised at what you find out.
