Yes! I like to call hunting Bambicide. 250 people killed every year by deer (and many more injured, some in life changing ways)-- they are by far the most dangerous animal, over and above grizzly bears, sharks, poisonous snakes, etc. There is lots of excellent research showing that when hunting is brought in, car/deer collisions go down …

Now our county uses me as a consultant to talk to folks who want to bring in hunters to their neighborhood, and even to speak at neighborhood events. My brother says I should run for office on the anti-deer ticket :)
Yes, spot on, so many people have no idea! Also, I am betting the deer if given the choice, would prefer to be killed by a skilled hunter, rather than dying by getting hit by a car 😕 (probably being badly maimed initially and suffering a longer more painful death).
Absolutely. The deer die in seconds from well placed heart/double lung shots.
Interesting thought -- could you imagine if grizzly bears were killing 250 people a year and were grossly over populated, and folks decided that instead of bringing the population down through hunting, they should spend thousands of dollars per bear to put them on birth control? That's what HSUS/PETA does with deer anywhere they can convince people to do it. Of course, it doesn't work. Also, HSUS/PETA owns the patent on the birth control drug PZP (a little research gets you to that truth). Just another example of liberal insanity along with drug money dictating stupid actions under the guise of being humane. (HSUS is not to be confused with local Humane Society groups, which do care about animal welfare)
