Problems and solutions with deer hunting
This paper will talk about three problems and three solutions to the problems. I will talk about the length of deer season, overpopulated parks, and the length of bow and rifle season. This first paragraph will talk about the first problem which is the length of deer season. There are two sides of this problem some people want deer season longer and some people want deer season longer. The people that want deer season shorter are the people that are against hunting deer. The people that want deer season to be longer are the people that like to hunt and the ones that know what overpopulated deer can do to the environment. Most deer hunters “take great pains to hunt every day of gun season”, that is the reason why deer season needs to be longer. The other side of the problem is if people deer hunt too much, over time deer would get closer and closer to becoming extinct.

Some people like to have all the deer in the national parks that they go to, but they don’t know what overpopulated deer can do to the environment. The people that know what they can do to the environment want to be able to hunt these parks to control the deer population in these parks. People that are for hunting in these parks knows that “white- tailed deer have become increasingly abundant in many developed area”. This third paragraph is about the length of bow and rifle season. Bow hunters want to be able to hunt longer and hunt the rut without rifle hunters being able to hunt. The rifle hunters want to be able to hunt longer and hunt some of the rut. Bow hunters “prefer the whitetail rut free of firearm” because it's nearly impossible to kill a deer with a bow after gun season had started. Rifle hunters get to hunt the rut but they don’t have a long time to hunt, so that is why they have a problem with how long rifle season

    White Tail Deer Wildlife plays a very important role in the history of our country, dating back hundreds of centuries to the first civilizations of Native Americans. White-Tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) played a significant part in how the Indians survived; deer supplied the Native Americans with meat (venison), clothing, tools, a source of trade between Europeans, and ceremonial items (Howe, 2011). This being said, if anything were to happen to the population of deer to decline the Indians way of life would be greatly hindered. Much like the Indians from centuries ago, the Indians from the 21st century still utilize the deer in the same way their ancestors did, along with many other Americans that inhabit the United States. The objective…

    Only five deer or three bucks can be taken per season, but it mainly depends on the area that the hunter is in and how big the deer is. Without hunting their population would likely explode, therefore disturbing the entire ecosystem as a whole. In fact, according to Purdue University hunting restrictions are becoming far more strict. This has caused development in different management schemes and conservation measures. Trapping and relocation, hormone regulation, and immunocontraception, which is basically the sterilization of the animal, have been proposed solutions to further control the O. virginianus population (Farlee…

    2000). New methods must be put in place to control the white-tailed deer populations, especially in temperate forest-rich regions such as the Eastern United States. Before colonial times in America, white-tailed deer populations maintained sustainable population across the eastern United States due to habitat restriction in with vast stretches of temperate forest, a healthy predator population, and Native American deer management (NYS DEC 2011).

Because of this, national laws were put in place to restrict deer hunting.…
