When deer are regularly hunted, they are an integral part of many field and forest environments.
If deer are not hunted, they quickly become an unmanageable population of disease-ridden, tick-ridden vermin.
exactly what has happened with my Sister in law in N.W. New Jersey.
Deer all over all the time.
Bears and muskrats.
Can’t shoot em so they overpopulate and become needy and fearless of people.
