      hunting is only necessary in areas where wolves have been hunted to extinction

        No, because there’s areas where deer are so prolific that they’re considered pests. I knew many hunters in one such area, and nobody fed the deer, because it would have been costly and pointless.

          There are so many deer in my neighborhood that you can’t grow anything at ground level. They eat it all. Even decorative plants. It might be hard to believe but I’m five minutes by car from the downtown of my small city.

          I think the most I’ve counted traveling as a group was 17.

          There are a lot of hunters here. To the point where any adult male that doesn’t hunt is seen as weird by a good portion of the population.
