ORIGINAL: farm hunter
Honestly -
I'm more inclined to have wolves than excess deer. I'm not a treehugger - but I truly like the idea of a sustaining ecosystem that includes top end predators (man not withstanding).
Maybe as a result, the hunter take is reduced..... but I'm OK with that.

I couldn't agree with you more!! It is funny how animal populations were well balanced and self sustaining for millions of years, then man comes along and feels the need to improve on what has worked since the beginning of time.
I am no tree huger, and I think most hunters aren't, but I do love nature and the outdoors. And personally, I would NEVER shot an animal that wasn't going to end up on my dinner plate. If I go an entire year without getting a deer because a group of coyotes killed a few to eat, then so be it. Such is the circle of life.
