Deer hunters

I live on the eastern shore of MD, Probably one of the most popular areas in the US for Whitetail hunting. We as well have an over-abundance of them. I grew up in a family who hunted, and the first thing I was taught when I started was to never kill anything I didn't intend to eat. (lesson well learned after I shot a buzzard with a .22 and my mom made me clean it and eat it..) Around here most hunters only keep one deer a year for themselves, and donate the meat from any extras to local food banks, therefore providing those less fortunate with something to eat when they need it most. But not only does hunting provide herd and disease control, but it does provide the hunter with time spent enjoying the beauty of nature while also providing food for his family. I don't know about anyone else, but there is nothing as serene as the the few moments just after dawn when you're sitting in a stand and the entire forest is waking up and coming to life around you. Any hunter here in the US will tell you that conservation is key, after all we do want to pass on a beautiful world for our kids to enjoy too.
