FWIW I see there are three sides to that discussion. My dad never let anyone hunt our land unless they were hunting to feed their families. I respect that. I respect the position that the herd must be thinned and taking out the oldest and biggest, that have spread their seed, fills that need. (Kind of like finally taking that big fish out of the pond that is starting to decline to make room for the new generation). The one I can't respect is those that just want to kill something and there are way to many of those in my opinion! Just my 2 cents
