Deer are highly reproductive and adaptable and therefore are tremendous survivors, however nature, in particular winters, are hard on animals that tend to overpopulate. And for those animals that survive all the aforementioned in heavily populated areas, disease usually will take its toll delivering a slow and painful death to the animals. Though only six years old, Alexander understands that the law abiding hunter ensures survival of the species including endangered species. Alex did not shoot a Bald Eagle or a Spotted Owl. In fact, the hunting licenses purchased by people like Alex pays for most states wild life management programs.
Hunters are some of America's greatest environmentalists.
They support not only wild life management programs but also land acquisition money and legislation. If at the age of six and weighing only 39 pounds a child can be this responsible, certainly adults need not fear our Constitution. Lets preserve it, not only for ourselves, but for the children. So the next time you see a hunter, wave to him or her and thank them for helping preserve our nature.
