"Deer are far more likely to kill you than sharks."
There’s too many deer in many parts of the country. But it’s kind of a shame that they didn’t make better use of them.
Actually, my daughter’s car hit a deer a few weeks ago—a yearling “button buck.” A couple of hunters stopped to help. They called the Game Warden, who came, killed the deer, and gave it to my daughter. My youngest son helped her to cut it up and skin it. They’ve put it away in the freezer, and among other things made some really good sausage. Luckily, not much damage to the car.
But it’s true. Deer are far more likely to kill you than sharks. They just don’t excite the media in the same way. And in most parts of the country, there are far too many of them for the good of the woodlands.
I live in the city, but go out to the country frequently, to hunt and visit in-laws, so it probably comes as no shock that I don't know anyone besides those I hunt with, who eats venison. Do you think it's popular enough that harvesting them would be worth while?
“...there are far too many of them for the good of the woodlands.”
That is true, but it isn’t a deer problem, it is a people problem, especially among liberals and those folks who spell whitail deer as “Bambi”! Others that balk like a recalcitrant mule at the very idea of culling does (Mama Bambis) refuse to understand that culling does can control population increases very quickly, bucks not so much at all, unless you kill every one in the entire area!
