Deer hunting

Biological carrying capacity

(Deer RARELY exceed it.)

Fact.

What is evident of the ‘over abundance’ hunting myth is that overpopulation of deer is a direct result of killing (hunting) them.

Fact.

Look folks, if deer were to overpopulate an area that couldn’t sustain their numbers, good ol nature will regulate.

Fact.

*…It ain’t like it’s nature’s first day on the job…*

Fact.

When humans interfere with nature (deer hunting) is when over population becomes an ‘issue’.

Fact.

Wildlife management/State agencies incentive is revenue generated from selling licenses.

Fact.

Forests are clear-cut to create ideal deer habitats to provide hunting opportunities, which, you guessed it, helps sell more licenses.

Fact.

Clear-cutting areas significantly increases deer numbers, AND is destructive to the environment.

Fact.

Deer are treated as commodities… ‘resources’ that are exploited for pleasure, & monetary gain.

Fact.

F&G, fuddspeak, & state agencies refer to deer killing as ‘harvesting’….as though they’re fields of wheat. Deer are sentient beings that are objectified, & reduced to the same status as crops.

Fact.

Deer season gun/bow crosshairs hone in on mature males with big racks. No scrawny deer.

Fact.

Each individual buck mates with SEVERAL doe, which makes a lot of fawns.

This throws deer herds out of whack. How? Doe produce, at least, 1 fawn. However, over half (67%) of mature does produce twins.

Fact.

Hunting creates more deer.
