Locavores and former vegans hunting deer

[Lallans]

Great article. Those are the main reasons I hunt too. Getting back to primal roots, eating meat that's natural and chemical-free, and doing it in a sustainable way. I'm glad to see others (especially those who were formerly opposed to it) discovering that it's a good thing.

I would worry, though, about TOO many people getting into hunting. As our Scottish ancestors discovered a couple of centuries ago, it's very easy to over-hunt an area, and very difficult to bring game populations back. One would presume that modern regulations would keep wild game populations sustainable and healthy, but that doesn't always work as intended.

Overhunting is not likely to be an issue here in Canada. And I'll leave it at that.

[I originally put in a bunch of stuff about gun control, social engineering etc etc but now I'm deleting it since it would never do any good here and I'm fairly certain any debate about it would cause the string to be taken down].
