<<these so called "hunters" were shooting it out over a tree stand>>

There was no "shooting it out". A person was asked to leave the stand, which was on private property, and he walked 40 feet and turned and shot 8 people. Five of them died and 2 of the remaining 3 are in serious condition. The person who did all the shooting was a Hmong from the Twin Cities.

<<Jeeeeesus.. What are we coming to, our society, I mean? LAZY, FAT ASSED people Out there for the..Thrill of a Kill?..>>

Deer hunting wasn't just invented. It's a tradition in this state (Wisconsin) in part because its the only way to control the herd. Otherwise their numbers become so high that we hit them with cars and people die in the accidents....or they die a long hard death during the winter months when food isn't plentiful....or disease strikes the herd like has happened with chronic wasting disease.

So, there are good reasons for this hunt and people eat the meat....they're not just shot for the sake of killing.
