Well...where I live, hunting is necessary to get rid of the huge deer population, because state officials a long time ago removed all natural predators from the state. So the deer become overpopulated, and when they run out of space, they start destroying their habitat by eating every plant that's alive, which destroys lots of biodiversity, and they run out into spaces populated by humans, which is dangerous. It's dangerous for the deer because they could get shot/run over by cars/etc, and it's dagerous for humans because being kicked by deer can do serious damage, especially in the face. However...as it's needed, I still don't like it. Blargh. That's just me though...

No... and I'm never going to hunt any animals because like SNK said, why should I kill something that hasn't done anything to me? I don't know ANY hunters around here. It's just not popular here. I know my grade 7 teacher hunts rabbits though....

I've hunted deer without success and it is the most boring thing I have ever done.

Hunting Deers has hardly any entertainment value, even if you enjoy such activity, think about it, it just results in repeating the same activity over and over, there are much more forms of entertainment that are constantly changing, and fresh.

I don't think that you are going to convince any hunters that it is not fun by telling them it is not. I mean obviously they think it is right? He he. And now for my story... My girlfriend at the time and I (this was a few years ago) were driving home from her dad's place, about 40 minutes away from where we lived. Well, I started to feel the call of nature if you know what I mean, and eventually had to ask her to pull over. We came upon a sort of cleared area off to one side and stopped there. It looked like some sort of construction site or something. Just a big clearing of mud and piles of dirt all around. I got out of the car and walked over behind one big hill of dirt and saw a sort if pit that looked as if it had all kinds of debris in the bottom. Tree branches and miscellaneous scrap and whatnot. I thought that would be perfect so I walked down the slope a ways and started to do my business. As I was standing there, I was suddenly hit with this overpowering stench. It almost made me gag. It was the smell of death. Have you ever smelled that before? You don't forget it. It stays in your nose and mouth for a long time afterward. After I realized what I was smelling, I started to see things taking shape around me. It was almost like looking at one of those 3-D pictures where suddenly it all comes into focus at once. What I saw were dead deer taking shape around me. What at first appeard to be rocks and mud became a deers head looking at me with dead eyes. What I had mistaken for tree limbs were actually legs. I don't know how many deer were in that pit or where they came from, but needless to say, I was completely creeped out. Keep in mind this whole time I just wanted to be done taking a leak as fast as possible, but it seemed to take forever. My assumption was that this was some place where the DOT would dump roadkill or something but I don't know. It was just really wierd. It still creeps me out. Damn.

Speaking of deer, there was an incident near my house where a deer got hit at 75 mph by a semi and got splattered for about 100 yards. The road was soaked in blood, the head was seperated from the body, and every part of the body flew off as well.

A car running into a deer at 75 mph actually causes more dmg to the car than to the deer. It's actually extremely dangerous. I think i read somewhere that you have a bigger chance of dying from hitting a deer than from a shark bite incident.

but you see if people didnt hunt deer, the number of deer would go WAY up. then youll probably run into a deer on the road, and car repairer people would make a lot of money. you'll lose money too to get your car fixed.

OMG my post just deleted itself damnit. Anyways....people who enjoy deer hunting: good for you. Peopel who don't: dont talk bout it. It's better to act as if it doesnt happen. I.e, people f*cking in the corner of the prom with 3 people. You know it happens, but it's better not to think about it.

But you're missing the point. We're the ones that caused this to happen. There used to be other animals that would take care of the population. But because WE, humans killed them off, now we have to control the population. To add to the subject. I have never touched a gun in my life.

yup. We raised chickens. Wolves ate them. We thought "bad wolves. wipe them out" No more chicken problems! However, now nothing to keep swelling deer population in check.
