I'd post a picture of myself and a deer I've shot years ago when I lived in US South. But I am sure this will cause an ocean of dissatisfaction by people who believe hunting is wrong.
Yep. There are certain times during the year when you're allowed to hunt. You cannot do it during their mating season. And hunters simply clear the "extra" deer population, which is not hurt in any way.
How so? If the deer is not wasted eg thrown away, then it is merely the circle of nature. We, humans, a more powerful species, kill the deer for food. Its a very pure thing, which should not be seen as barbaric.
but couldnt you just eat the venison you buy at the store, and your killing for entertainment, i doubt the sole reason people go hunting now is actually for food

Here (in Finland) hunters call killing animals SPORT, can you believe it? And FUN? Seriously, there must be something wrong in a person's mind if spilling blood makes them feel good. This is my humble opinion. And don't tell me I know nothing about it, 'coz I've done it once myself - not actually killing the poor beasts (badgers :sob but I was there cheering the dogs on and watching them tear and bite the prey. I truly regret ever having anything to do with such horrendeous deed.

True. Some people just like the adreniline rush invovled in it. It also goes back to basic man, we probably needed an adreniline boost before we would go hunting. I dont blame people for feeling this, its just a rush that we are programmed to have. Because if we hated killing animals, we would soon die out.
