I agree 100%. We do not hunt, I did as a kid, but we ate everything we killed, mostly rabbits and frogs. Some of the guys at work rent a bobcat, go out in the woods, flatten an area to make a clearing, plant food plots just to increase their chances of getting a deer. Granted, they all bow hunt, but it seems like cheating to me.
On the other hand, deer and hog populations are out of control across the nation, people getting killed, crops destroyed, to the point that towns will pool their tags and hire hunters to come in and thin the herd. I get the point, but some of it does seem counterproductive. The animals are learning, they disappear when season time comes round![]()
