If you pull that trigger, you best kill the animal in one shot. Here's where to aim.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Hunting helps keep the deer population healthy.
Where I live, their natural predator was hunted to extinction during the coloniial days. Humans are the main source of population control for them here.
Nope.
Hunting is ineffective because state wildlife management agencies intentionally keep the deer population high, for hunters. Contraception is far superior in controlling population.
Stop trying to justify the fact that you just enjoy killing something that doesn't fight back.
First, wrong region. I'm not in an urban region of Canada, I'm in a rural part of a red state.
2nd, the expense is negligible. We already have the equipment necessary for harvesting deer, and the skill to field strip the useful meat and preserve it.
As far as time, I can leave out on a hunting trip Saturday morning, return Sunday evening, and be at work Monday morning.
My family has been living off the land since before the United States was a thing. I'm a 13th great grandson of Chief Powhatan.
Yep. If we don’t control the deer population they overgraze which causes ecosystem collapse.
Best course of action would be to reintroduce predators but until then hunting is necessary.
It's been proposed, and shot down multiple times. Nobody seems to want wolves in their backyard.
Wonder why?
