🦌Hunting is conservation. No matter what species hunters are chasing, it is done out of love for the animal, love of the wilderness, and most importantly, putting food on the table. Conservation and management are a bonus. It is truly a win-win situation. The management and habitat conservation points can also be said for fishing.🎣

Anti-hunters love to ask, “What if we stopped hunting deer altogether?”
Here’s the real answer, and it’s not the Disney fantasy they imagine.

1. Vehicle collisions would explode

Take hunters out of the equation and deer numbers surge fast.
Insurance groups estimate crashes would jump 30–50% almost immediately.
More wrecked cars, more injuries, more dead deer on the highway.
That’s not conservation; it’s chaos.

2. Crop damage would skyrocket, and so would food prices

Farmers already lose billions to deer every year.
Remove hunting and damage could double, smashing corn, soybeans, hay, orchards, and vegetable farms.

And when crops suffer, food prices climb, everything from meat and dairy to produce and feed-based products.
Worst part? States will just hire taxpayer-funded sharpshooters to do what hunters were doing for free.

3. Human/deer conflicts would blow up

More deer means more Lyme disease, more garden destruction, more suburban problems, and more aggressive deer during the rut. Communities would be overwhelmed.

4. The population wouldn’t boom forever, it would crash

Without hunting, deer overshoot the habitat and trigger mass starvation and disease outbreaks like EHD and CWD.
It’s not humane: it’s a slow-motion disaster.

BOTTOM LINE:
Stopping hunting wouldn’t “save” deer. It would wreck roads, raise food costs, hurt farmers, and eventually collapse the herd.

Hunting IS conservation.
Hunting IS management.
Hunters keep wildlife healthy.

Morning hunt turned into a bird watching session, warming up by the stove before heading back out to hunt the late afternoon/evening.

Slug gun sighted in and ready for next weekend. Hitting left at first but I managed to get it to the point that I’m comfortable with it. It was cold and windy at the range but my confidence level is higher now. This is my budget build for Deer gun season. Purchased used I needed something I wouldn’t be worried about getting wet or banged up, along with some modularity. This old Mossberg 500 fit the bill, it came with a "slugster" barrel and a field barrel with interchangeable chokes. More upgrades coming for Turkey and Dove seasons, stay tuned.

Initial upgrades for Deer season have been:
Thorough deep clean and parts inspection.
Magpul SGA adjustable length of pull stock and for-end.
Blueforce gear adjustable two point sling.
New factory magazine tube spring.
New GG&G aluminum follower.

Coming soon:
Picatinny rail optic mount.
Red dot sight.
Enhanced safety switch.
Camo paint job.

This Sunday's NASCAR entry showcases an outdoor-themed Re*****on Arms #75 Ford Thunderbird, one of the earlier outdoor-themed cars on the track at that time. Here, I provide historical context on the team and the evolution of the car's paint scheme over the years. Unfortunately, Re*****on Arms experienced multiple bankruptcies but has since resumed fi****ms manufacturing under new ownership.
