Hunting is for the purpose of eating. I know there are the idle rich who hunt for fun, but meat in the freezer is the main attraction for others.

Hunting seasons separate agricultural activity from pursuit of game to protect farmers from the hunters, and the hunters from the farmers (and both from themselves if they play both roles).

The theory that limiting taking results in more game for later years is nonsense. These animals have to eat, and if there's nothing to eat, they don't reproduce. If resources are limited there will be plenty of animals starving to death in the winter. With the removal of the wolves and other predators from the picture, ethical men must cull the herd to match the resource levels else the remaining animals are harmed.

Another patently ignorant statement. Hunting season is in the fall/winter for the sake of the game rearing of young in the spring/summer. It has nothing to do with agriculture. When dear become so plentiful as to be a nuisance, it's time to brink back spring hunts. Your state is over run with deer because your game department lacks the gnads to increase the hunting to the point necessary to get the population under control. That's a political problem and wolves will make it worse. It's obvious you continue to argue because you can't admit to being wrong. Have a nice day.
