Reply to comment by CodeMonkey789 in 1st day of rifle season --- good luck to all you hunters! by Bocephus8892

Because I eat them. For the low price of ~$50 I can put 100-150 pounds of meat in the freezer each year.

Also my insatiable lust for murder and ravenous desire to stalk and kill an unsuspecting, defenseless animal.

But mostly the food for me and my family part 🥰

Why do you have to kill an animal to eat? That is a very strange justification. "It's okay I murdered John - i'm going to eat his body!"

Whole plant foods are also suitable for survival and quite easy to live off of healthfully. Whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables are adequate for humans and the cheapest possible diet per nutrient. No need to kill an animal to live. I follow this checklist every day: https://nutritionfacts.org/daily-dozen/

It feels so good getting off body parts and secretions - and so strange that humans still choose to eat this when we have 100000 delicious other plant foods out there you've never tried.

Deer in PA are overpopulated; reducing their population is a vital part of the PGC's management plan.

Animals kill, friend. It's life.

There are many ways of population control that do not involve killing with guns. And give me a break - no hunter here cares about population control. Humans have eradicated species after species due to hunting - an unneeded sport in this day and age.

It's not a sport for us. For many in PA it's a means of subsisting in a food desert; fruits and vegetables can be hard to come by when you're poor, but a bow is cheap and available.

The modern hunter is very closely tied to conservation, and many who hunt also participate in DCNR and PGC efforts to restore native species and manage existing species.
