I' m in advertising which seems to be full of tree hugging freaks so I get it all the time. As the others said, I think you did great and stuck up for our rights to hunt.

I drag out the car/deer crash stats (here in MI for ex, $32mil damage, 11 deaths, 1,000 injuries last year) and start in with population control along with the angle of urbanization.

The other angle I go at it is the fact that God put these animals on earth for us to be stewards over, combining this with our fastly dwindling constitutional rights angle. This is when they leave. Commies!
