There are two deer season here starting next week. I have seen sick deer on my hikes due to over population. There was a doe with three fawns running around our area this summer. The dogs ran into a buck in rut two weeks ago. That was a hair raising experience. It took me over half an hour to get the dogs rounded up. The wild meat from wild animals like squirrels, rabbits, raccoon, deer, elk, bear, etc., is very lean & healthy. We all wouldn't be hear if our ancestors hadn't of found wild game to live on. All of the people that I know that hunt do it out of necessity.
