I live in a gorgeous area and love to see the elk and deer right in my yard. Then during this time of year, we get the idiot, gun toting orange vested fuckheads shooting at anything that moves. I could understand your point about population control IF the hunters were hunting doe or cow instead of trying to get a trophy set of antlers for showing to their buddies cuz their dick isn't big enough to brag about.
We have always lived in areas that get hunted and I can tell you first hand that when out for hikes right after hunting season, we find carcasses, full carcasses ONLY with the antlers removed. That isn't population control, it's SPS
