So do humans. We're really the worst.

I don't eat vegetation.

When Yellowstone reintroduced wolves, the whole ecosystem bounded back because the wolves were able to curb the overpopulation of the grazers.

Would you choose the Bear over the deer? (after this I am not so sure).

Male or female bear?

So the deer would have gotten off without criminal charges if not killed? Criminals get away with everything these days.

I enjoy seeing the fawns every spring and sometimes I can even start to recognize them as they grow towards the fall. Sometimes they just sit on the grass and have a nice rest. They feel safe in the open on my property and don't run.

I buy 80lbs at a time of raw peanuts in the shell and toss them out.

I get a lot of crows, too, and sometimes they leave me little sparkly things on the outside table where I put their peanuts.

Isn't it illegal to feed deer in most places? One reason is potential for spreading the deer version of mad cow disease.

Not sure where you live, but Fairfax County does have a Deer Management Program. It was pretty disconcerting the first time I saw the hunters in the park behind my house!

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/wildlife/deer-management-program

Montgomery County has one too.
https://montgomeryparks.org/caring-for-our-parks/wildlife/montgomery-parks-deer-population-management/

DC deer are managed via sharpshooters in the National Parks. https://www.nps.gov/rocr/learn/management/white-tailed-deer-management.htm#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20Deer%20Management,affecting%20the%20environment%20is%20made.

There's not really any area nearby where animal rights folks have prevented culling afaik.

A looming souce of grief for me in Arlington. They plan to kill nearly half the deer.
County staff developed plan with White Buffalo. Guess who got the contract to shoot them? Right you are.

The meat very likely will get processed and donated to food pantries. Sounds humane enough to me.

They always say that, but have you ever seen a single "food pantry" that serves wild venison? Nope. It just disappears. Probably put into dog food or hot dogs.

How many food pantries have you audited to be able to say this?

Have you ever even been to one or worked/volunteered at one that used rando venison meat brought in?

Name it with contact information. A single one.

They feed it to the homeless?
