RE: If you had this "problem" would you still hunt
Notice how skinny the deer are?Way to many for the food in the area it looks to me.I shoot 4-8 does off 80 acre farm I have and all are fat,maybe because I have about 8-10 acres of food plots.People like this think we hunters are the mean people but they can not see the big picture.I'm sure by the looks of these deer if they had a hard winter or dry summer some of the deer would die a very slow death because of over population.If I had a choice of dying I would much better it be a well place 30-06 than to starve to death.

I'd absolutely still hunt, just probably not right by there, so I could at least convince myself that it wasn't one of "my deer" that I killed. However by the time I have a house, I'll have a hunting dog and I doubt those deer would stick around so much if there was a dog in the area.
The real difficulty would be if you had kids and you brought home a deer.
I had a squirrel eating out of my birdfeeder last fall. Since I live in Des Moines in an apartment I had to be a bit covert, but he met a pellet from my pellet gun between the eyes and tasted great!
I agree with others who have said the deer look too skinny, seems to me there's not enough food for the amount of deer in the area and the population needs to be trimmed.
