I live in Whitetail mecca (Catskills). I don't know one single person who doesn't eat what they kill, or one morsel that goes uneaten. I understand people who have a mostly urban background may have a different outlook on hunting. There is a lot more habitat due to out of business farms, mild winters, and a lot fewer hunters over the years. Hotels, eateries,bars, sport shops all suffering or out of business. The deer thrive. Body shops thrive. Ever hit a deer? I live amongst these beautiful animals and I wouldn't hesitate to eat most any one of them, and I think a lot of them would feel the same way about me. The alternative to hunting is a controlled kill by the all-providing Govt. at your expense. The State Govt. makes a pretty good buck selling Hunting Licenses. BTW New York State is very friendly to hunting and fishing. World Class.
