RE: National News About Deer Problem
Why does it surprise you that an industry that has demonized hunting for a generation, would not mention it as a remedy for population control of deer? While I am not familiar with Colorado in general or the area around Littleton described in the incident, I do know that Colorado does have a hunting season and if hunting in that area were an effective means of population control accidents would on the decline. I also know that too many hunters will not take Does under any circumstances and target only Bucks, any Buck, as long as there are antlers present. This does not lead to population control and is a primary argument against hunting as a form of population control. Until we, the hunters, team with our state wildlife management organization and effectively use hunting for that purpose we will see this continue and we will continue to be disregarded as a means of population control. This does not even address the issues regarding those that do not see hunting as an alternative for all of the emotional nonsense that abounds.
