[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3012903, member: 5412"] The purpose of current wildlife conservation is to balance the predator/prey balance that puts the environment into harmony. When a predator specie is introduced into the picture like wolves and avian predators that cannot be controlled they become a detriment to the overall wildlife in the area they live in if allowed to repopulate unchecked like Yellowstone. Deer can over browse their habitat requiring hunting to thin the herd to keep them in check with their food sources. There are more deer in the US now than when the pilgrims landed. Some areas like mine are overran and need extraordinary controls. We do spotlight surveys at night every september, count the deer and separate by does, bucks and fawns. The ODW looks at the data and says you need to kill this many to maintain a healthy herd that won't suffer malnutrition issues because of the available habitat. We do 35-40 does a year with a few mature bucks. Not an ounce of meat is wasted. We have outlets that will take every one we kill and ask for more. Conservation is not all about hugging trees, some times its about helping nature keep balanced. [/QUOTE]
