Hunting these deer became illegal. In 24 years the herd grew to 100,000. They ate everything in site. During the winters of 1924 and 1925, over 50,000 of the mule deer died, due to starvation. It taught wildlife conservationist an important lesson.
Man is an instrumental part of the ecosystem of our wildlife.
Taking him out of the conservation picture would have devastating effects to all of our wildlife and fish. In terms of dollars and cents, fishing is the largest leisure sport in America. We spend billions of dollars each year enjoying our sport. Imagine what would happen to our economy if we took fishing out of the picture. Lake towns across the country would dry up and blow away.
