Hunting keeps animal populations in control, it’s a necessary evil. My father and his family is filled with hunters, and despite my morals being against murdering animals, I understand that it’s something that needs to be done.

No hunting means a deer population that is out of control, causing countless car accidents and human deaths. Bear hunting serves a similar purpose, and it needs to be done.

Not to mention that hunting license fees are a major source of funding for wildlife conservation and management. There is nothing controversial about this.

Hunters are some of the biggest conservationists you’ll meet, they hunt because they love and care about nature. I understand why people may feel like hunting is bad but there is a significant benefit to nature and the local ecosystem because of it.

Hunter here. I’ve electrified my house, my cars and am trying to get my family to do the same. My dad and I hunt together and only sustainably and responsibly.

Yeah, I’d say I care a little about the environment and nature lol!

Not hunting deer means overpopulation, starvation and a horrible death. I saw what a hunting ban did to a deer population when I was a kid down in Shenandoah, and it was horrific. Dead deer everywhere and the stench was something I'll never forget. Those poor deer suffered horribly before they died, a quick death would've been better.

True, I actually passed a bear that had been hit and killed by a car earlier this year, which was unusual to see
