Son you can't read. Illiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. We have been underfunding public education for years and this is just a result of that. When do you learn to read, perhaps you can address the points made instead of hurling insults though. OK Junior.
Oh and here are some quotes to enjoy:
From Mr. DuBrock, Director of Wildlife, Pennsylvania Game Comission:
"The increase in deer in Pennsylvania is a direct result of hunting practices which have routinely killed large number of bucks, thus removing a large number of animals from the herd and causing the compensatory rebound. Furthermore, such hunting practices, by constantly killing males while leaving females alive, have upset the natural 1:1 female to male ratio to at least 5 females to every 1 male." As rural areas have outgrown the ability to support a healthy deer herd, the animals have expanded into more populated areas and are now common in suburbs. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in auto/deer accidents, damage to property, and starvation of animals. Hunters actually cause overpopulation and the degradation of the deer herd in general by seeking to kill antlered bucks with no regard for the herd in general. This results in skewed sex ratios, as high as 25 females to one male in some areas. Since deer are polygamous, the herd multiplies while the hunting kill increases.
From the 1998-99 Kentucky Hunting Regulations Manual, page 12:
"In 1976, the first year for mandatory check in, Kentucky recored 3,476 harvested deer. Herd growth accelerated in the 1980's. A two-deer limit was begun in 1987. By 1989 the quality of the deer left much to be desired. Lots of deer were being killed, but they were small with small racks [antlers]. Hunters blamed malnutrition, disease or poor genetics, but the real reason was lack of age. Kentucky had lots of healthy deer with good genetics, but they were young. The number of deer living long enough to reach their rpime was very small. 22% of the bucks were two years or older, less than 6% were three years old. Biologists determined that the quality of the deer herd would improve if more of the herd lived longer. Genetically superior bucks would naturally out-compete their unfit rivals."
Additionally, the only animal considered to be "Overpopulated" from what I'm seeing on the internet is the whitetailed deer. And those deer are less than 2% of the total animal population hunted. Furthermore, this thread is about doves. When doves start overpopulating Texas, let me know Cleetus.
You asked why I was against it and I provided you with multiple well thought out responses. When your state gets a governor that will finally help you read better, you'll understand and not be such a Snappy Sally.

IF you knew anything about hunting, wetlands conservation, migratory bird fly-ways, maintaining leases, ranches, private land...you wouldn't make any of your idiotic dumbass statements. When you have 10,000 acres of enclosed land it is absolutely necessary to maintain the animal populations and closely supervise the wildlife. That is why we have wildlife biologists and game management periods.
Again, you haven't made any relavent points because you have no knowledge whatsoever of the subject you are trying to argue.
....and i'll be going to Texas .....so if the #15 ranked law school in the country is fourth tier....guess i'll just have to live with it.
I'd like to know why you don't condone hunting though.
