why use birth control, just hunt them and give the meat to the poor. You have something against poor people ?

Of course genetics play a part in everything and nothing is ever created equal. A hunter is most likely to take the first deer that comes along his path. Most hunters go home empty handed. It's not like a city sidewalk where hundreds of deer are paraded in front of you. I rarely hunt or fish, hunting is probably the most expensive way to get meat. I met a doctor from Mississippi who drove to Snow Lake, Manitoba to pursue his life long dream of killing a bear. For a fee of $10,000 he was put up on a tree stand and a bear was baited for him. I don't know if he was successful I just met him at a float plane dock in transit. Some natives that work for our company hunt all the time and they're not very good at it. One deer they emptied twenty shells at a few months ago was only partially wounded and when they ran out of ammo finished it off by slamming it's head in the tailgate of their truck. Long range rifles and ATV's are simply tools when it comes to hunting. Do you think it would be better if the hunter was armed with only a slingshot? I was camping one time when a bow hunter wounded a grizzly in the hip with an arrow you could hear the bear screaming from miles away at night. "A natural population would have older animals who have gained skill with age." I don't know what skill set you suppose a deer learns with age outside of browsing around the forest eating and breeding. They're certainly not working on advanced physics, composing operas or corresponding with Al Gore on global warming. Do you have anything against genetically superior cattle being slaughtered for meat?
