No, what it translates into is more car/deer accidents, more crop damage the following year and possibly over population of deer in your area when there is not enough habitat to support them. Then they get sick and you are completely screwed. We need to keep the deer numbers in check because people feel the need to build a new strip mall at the edge of town when there is a vacant one less than a mile away in town!! What a freaking waste!

We all love bowhunting, but lets be honest we don't really kill enough deer during our season to accomplish what the DNR wants. So they have more seasons. And if we still don't kill enough deer the seasons get less restrictive. If you keep wishing gun hunters don't have any success the next thing you know your season will be shorter and theirs will be longer. Because where you pass on deer and let them walk they are taking them out, which is what they are supposed to be doing. The DNR doesn't issue tags out of the goodness of their heart hoping you don't actually kill any cute little deer.

I have never got the whole hunter pitted against hunter thing. I thought we were at war with the deer, not each other?

My take on it anyway.
