Hunting is necessary to control populations

I thought that your article was totally right on. Where I live there are so many deer that I wonder what would happen if we were not avid hunters. We frequently see deer laying dead on the side of the road, and I know the number would go up drastically if hunting were banned. Thanks for pointing this out!!

I totally agree with you I am also a hunter and i agree

I hunt and totally agree without hunting many animals would be dead or starving and most likely disease would spread through herds and so on.

i am also a hunter and if animals starve to death then their population would drop tramendesly. but if we hunt in moderation and stick to the limits the populattion will not drop so badly. so i agree with the article.

i believe that this article is correct. if hunting was outlawed, the deer, elk ect. would overpopulate, and they would starve and die anyway. so, in that case, i guess you can say either way you go with this, there just going to die anyway. so why make it a more painful death? i think we should just shoot them and put them out of their misery. me, im a mere high school student but ive been hunting for most of my life. hunting to my family has been a lifelong tradition that has been passed down for generations. im not going to let some hippy activists ruin the adventure that hunting is. the activists demand animal rights, like humane way to "prepare" them for eating. btw, the way they think the companies kill the animals is technically illegal, so i think its all fake. dang, next thing you know the activists will be demanding for the animals to be able to vote. HAHAHA!!!!
