Killing a large percentage of bucks also increases deer populations. Consider too, that loud noises created by rifle and shotgun blasts are a major cause of unnecessary stress to wildlife. Wildlands are fragmented and exhausted from the battalions of wildlife killers who invade public lands. Hunting is a real money-maker. Recreational killing is an industry, not a necessity and commercial wildlife exploitation exists mainly because of avarice.
Wild animals living apart from human interference are commercially non-productive.
The hunter, on one hand speaks of his spiritual experience, of the sense of communion and elevation that accompanies his sport, and on the other, he identifies himself as just another predator fitting in where he belongs, culling away as the wolf and the lion cull. Man, however, is not a predator in an ecological sense, he's a despoiler. Hunters are ecological opportunists who gladly take from the land and give nothing in return. Unless, of course, you consider killing and crippling millions of animals a form of repayment. Hunting is a morally bankrupt activity with no biological or ethical justification.
