In some ways I agree with you, but in other ways I dont. By the early 1900s, before there was any kind of wildlife management, the deer population in Arkansas (where I live) was "hunted" almost to extinction. The same applied to Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, etc. I say "hunted" because it wasnt really hunting. Before govt controls, many people did not use fair chase practices and slaughtered deer (and other game) indiscriminately. I have found many historical accounts of many such instances. One example I'll never forget was a time when there was a deep snow with a crust of ice on top that made it very difficult for deer to move, but dogs could run on top of the ice with no problems. Several hunters used their dogs to round up hundreds of deer and and they slaughtered them all just for fun. I've also found accounts of people killing a hundred deer or more by shooting from the train on trips from Memphis to St. Louis.

Bottom line is, mankind needs controls.
