I think if everybody was really honest, we would have to admit that we hunt because we want to and it is fun. There are very few people in this country who legitimately need to hunt to stay alive or fed. The overwhelming majority of the country does just fine buying meat at the supermarket. I pretty much eat next to no venison. I just enjoy going out and shooting deer. I've got two small freezers full of venison that barely gets touched as I've cut red meat back significantly in my diet. If somebody asked me to go out and get a deer for them and give them the animal, I'd do it, because I enjoy stalking and shooting deer and the physical challenge of carting it out. I guess some guys enjoy enjoy smoking them with thermal and I'm cool with that. As long as the govt considers them a pest and treats them as such, do what you want IMO.
