I agree, people don't hunt because they feel an obligation to help the deer population. They hunt because they like the chase and killing.
The deer population thing is a justification given by hunters to people against hunting. It is BS. While it may help the deer population, that is not why people choose to hunt.
I have never hunted, but I know I would probably enjoy it.
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
