Do you think the wild turkey that the pilgrims ate at the first Thanksgiving just walked up on the table and died. No it didn't. Deer hunting is a source of food for homeless shelters and it is also a form of population control. We have killed off the natural predators of deer and thier population has exploded. In some states the deer herd is suffering from a disease called Chronic Wasting which Is like AIDS. They have discovered that there is a direct link to overpopulation of the herd. Another issue is crop loss as well automobile accidents. My FIL hunts every.fall on his property. Every deer he kills is processed and given to family members or an organization called Hunters for the Homeless. My freezer is full of deer sausage and deer ground beef. It is low fat and high in protein and
I know exactly where it came from.
