because if you were to not hunt the deer, the population would take care of itself, seeing as there wouldn't be enough food to go around, and the deer population would naturally wind down, where as if they die unnatural deaths, you aren't fixing the problem, just creating a shortcut.
"fixing the problem"?? I assume you are referring to over population of deer. Since human's have eliminated most of the natural predator of deer, it has become man's "responsibility" to control the population. This is a sad fact, but nonetheless reality. To keep a healthy deer population, there must be managed hunting. If deer populations were to go unchecked they would suffer from disease and starvation. Man has become the "natural" predator. Through population management the strong survive and the herds remain healthy.
BTW, last night I had a close encounter on the road with a very large buck with many pointed horns on his head. Major damage would have occured. This time of year they are out looking for the ladies. When they get the scent they don't care if you're driving a semi or a hybrid, they are going to cross that road.
