  • I live in Canada and I really hope this is not legal. If they call themselves hunters that's bull shit, hunting requires skill of which they have none!!!!!

  • this is sick.

  • The county should have long ago allowed hunters to reduce deer numbers, instead of making tax payers pay for a program, which reduces the deer populations to a bare minimum amount in many of the areas these tactics were used. I've heard comments from local residents of some of these sites, who are glad to see the deer removed, in order for their sacred shrubbery to be protected. Why live in areas of wilderness/forest preserves locations, if you don't want the actual wildlife creatures there?

  • Dupage County officials that sanction the rocket propelled netting of deer, then putting a bolt through the head of the stressed animal, and claiming they are not stressed, is a bit like them telling people that they have utilized "state certified sharpshooters", to help reduce the deer herds in over populated areas. Both of which are simply ridiculous comments in my opinion, and also likely very far from the truth.

  • Hunting is a sport, not a decimation of all land animals. A sport involves many hours of trekking, a well placed shot (clean kill), a trophy and food.

    There needs to be more done about poaching.

    I believe the meat is not as good once a deer is scared. This is idiotic. Maybe the natural predators should be allowed to live. (Pack of wolves, Cougars, etc.)

  • I don't understand why they have to net them first.....that has to scare the hell of the deer. Why not just shoot them if there is an over population. IF you get a clean shot they die almost instantly, if not you put them down with a revolver. Netting them with some jerry rigged rocket, letting them thrash around, the walking up them and putting something to their heads just doesnt make any sense.

  • @TheJboogie314 The net is to capture them for something like tagging or keeping track of the population. It is very stressful on the animal which is why a rocket net usually is only used on birds.

  • Honestly this looks a lot more like poaching. Im disgusted by this video. The government doesnt give two shits about anything but itself. Im glad videos like this get posted to show the real world whats going on

  • ok who ever put this video up needs to get a life cause this is hunting if we didnt do this then you may die when a deer runs out in front of your car because there is too many deer because for some reason people like you think this is cruelty when its acually helpin your ass out so stop putting your stupid videos on here saying this is animal abuse

  • @roncali63 So you can say for certain these deer would have crossed a road at some point?

  • @roncali63 This is not hunting. Hunting is with a real gun where the deer may have a little bit of a chance...oh and humans are overpopulating smartass. We are destoying the earth.

  • Cayuga Heights, NY voted recently to do this to their deer population. I hope someone misses and nets and bolts humans. At least humans deserve it. And whoever says anything really stupid like 'hey, get used to it- this is nature' - you're clearly ignorant and should get educated. To think this is nature or this is not torture goes to a deeper place in your psyche than I care to venture. You're lacking compassion and decency.

  • You ever late for work and get tangled in your sheets? yeah like that

  • Watch a video of a lion likking its food. Humans dont have bloodlust and all this pussy shit your throwing around. its called nature. get used to it, cause by the looks of it you guys are some dumbass hippies

  • @DOMIDOOM You're what happens when brothers and sisters mate.

  • The captive bolt kills them instantly, turns their brains into mush, they use them around here in the slaughter houses for cows.

  • @DOMIDOOM Rocket nets. Nature. Nope, don't recall the documentary about the lion who blew up his food. I'd rather be a dumbass hippy than a complacent urbanite who can't spell "likking".

  • I love venison. Remington .223, Winchester 30-30, bow & arrow or captive bolt gun. Any way you slice it the Bambi ain't gonna make it, except to my freezer hopefully. I don't hide behind clichés like it's helping their population, this or that is more humane or it's for their own good. I'm a meat eater and meat comes from animals. I don't hunt and kill animals for their own good. I do it because I want to eat them :) YUM

  • my 300 mag is pretty painless ...... why use a retarded net? bulldozers & developers kill 1000x more wild animals than any gun ever has. STOP human sprawl... DEMAND sterilization for humans.

  • Urban sprawl is the reason why there can't be more deer, and wolves, and cougars. Well, that and the ignorant MFKRS that just like a reason for "thinning the herd"

  • I'm against animal cruelty but I don't take offense to this video. As people we decimated the deer's natural predators (wolves, bear, cougars) for the sake of saving domestic animals and now we have a deer population that is growing unchecked. Something has to be down to thin the herd, and there simply aren't enough people hunting them. So to animal rights activists I ask you, what would you do? How would you fix this problem? Or is it you can't offer solutions, only criticism.

  • @luckyglasspig So you approve of torturing animals into death as had happened here? There are animal contraceptive solutions to regulate and control reproduction. But people have a bloodlust for quick and easy annihilation.

  • @SHARKonlineorg There is no torture here. They are killing an animal, death is not pretty. Deer contraceptives are expensive to implement. You need to drug and capture each individual animal. If you lay out the contraceptive in food you then run the risk of sterilizing other animals who may eat said food as contraceptives are not species specific. I don't know what utopia you think you live in sir, but you should wake up to reality.

  • @luckyglasspig Where do you want to stop in indiscriminately annihilating herds? When there are no animals left? The 'overpopulation' defense is simply propaganda. What's considered overpopulation? Five deer standing in a field? Ten? A herd of twenty? As far as contraceptives, depending on the size of the herd, only a couple would need to be sterilized in order to keep the herd numbers 'acceptable'. Just as a hunter can't take any & every animal he wants, in order to keep a herd in existence.

  • After numerous attempts, I finally manged to watch this. It sickens me. Karma will get the people who do this to innocent, helpless creatures.

  • Are they doing this under the guise of population control? if that is the case why don't they just increase hunting tags?

  • great, the government just spent $10,000 on what my $0.40 30-30 could do. Not to mention that, I bet, nobody got to eat that great deer meat (if it was any good after that.)

  • I bet that the state had to resort to this method becaus the animal rights activists made them cut the number of deer tags allowed to hunters. So who is to blame? The guys who want to save every animal, or the guys who actually want controlled population through hunting and proper usage of the animal's carcass?

  • @dlstb ""the animal rights activists made them cut the number of deer tags allowed to hunters."" It's nice that you think ARAs have that kind of power, but you are clueless.

  • @dlstb I dont understand what's up with you people ranting on about animal population control? How is their rising population effecting you in anyway. It is us that go around building rail tracks, houses and buildings across their habitats. Where Im from everyday we've got trees being cut down for a new Wal-Mart and couple of restaurants. It is the human population we should be controlling not animal population. They dont use up as much resources as we do.

  • Hideous monsters...murderers.

    Direct action against these monsters & paymasters is the...only answer!

  • I'm not against legal sport hunting where you actually track the animal. But this is...sick.

  • WoW! Looks just like a "canned hunt" - only the enclosure just got smaller! Totally unacceptable way to "manage" wildlife.

  • Another BIG secret are all the deer farms --- About 1500 of them in the US - Breeding deer while communities are screaming that there's an "overpopulation" problem. What hooey... All this to keep the hunter's blood lust satisfied. Vicious monsters is what they are.

  • Our tax dollars hard at work, I live close to this location in Illinois, and I think this kind of program or genicide should be made public, So It Can BE STOPPED.

  • This is wrong I am an Avid hunter, and this is a disgrace.

  • This is a disgrace on how these animals are killed. Barbaric is the only word to describe this..........Please send this to the NJ political people and Governor Christie.

  • better kill them here than u killing them and Ur self on the highway right?

  • @turkeyman0 So you're saying every single deer in creation walks out in the roadway? You're absolutely positive the deer killed in this video went into the roadway? You're absolutely certain their offspring would go into the roadway? To kill off entire herds because some of their species cross roads is ludicrous reasoning at best.

  • @SHARKonlineorg ha dude chill. this is you tube. and it was an opinion. most people don't just shoot deer and leave them be. we eat the meat and use the hide and usually donate most of the meat to share the harvest which helps less fortunate people have some red meat in there diet. so. also deer are over populating and their numbers need to be reduced. people take things way to seriously. why do you even care what i think ?

  • @turkeyman0 Actually, we don't care what you think. You left a comment on our page with a question at the end and we asked you for verification. As for shooting and killing deer, it's public information from many states that tens of thousands of shot (with gun and bow) deer are found still wounded or bled out from their wounds, left unclaimed to die and rot.

  • @SHARKonlineorg Y'all are being very fallacious in y'alls responses. I mean just look at this, "it's public information from many states that tens of thousands of shot deer are found still wounded or bled out from their wounds, left unclaimed to die and rot." Take your beef/tofu up with THOSE hunters, not the ones who actually follow the bible's and state's laws. Don't punish everyone else for someone's stupid actions. I should have the right to hunt as much as you have the right to complain!

  • @MrAnon95 Where's the fallacy in that statement?

  • @SHARKonlineorg Well, let me pick apart your arguments... "deer are found still wounded or bled out from their wounds, left unclaimed to die and rot." argument from ignorance. "it's public information from many states that tens of thousands of shot deer are found still wounded or bled out from their wounds, left unclaimed to die and rot." That is begging the question... give your sources... And why don't you allow people to vote on comments? Are you afraid that a lot of people will thumb down?

  • @MrAnon95 We've done our homework. Do yours yourself.

    If we were 'afraid' of people using thumbs up or down because they can't speak for themselves, we wouldn't even be allowing comments such as yours which defend abusive and unnecessary slaughtering practices of animals. Feel privileged that we're allowing your kind to blather, because our videos aren't displayed to garner opinions. They're evidence of animals unnecessarily being hurt or killed and the public needs to see it.

  • @turkeyman0 here's proof that, even if most people dont shoot the deer and leave them be, that some do. And deer are overpopluated because a) there are too many humans on this earth and we have taken their natural habitat-they have NO where to go. b) we killed off their natural predators (wolves) so they have nothing to keep their numbers down naturally. You can't blame deer, or any animal, for being over populated. Blame humans,.

  • @SHARKonlineorg strong words form an ex hunter

  • @SHARKonlineorg nothing is absolutely certain. while i do believe that many acts found in your videos are pathetic acts of ignorance and stupidity, i do still support legal and humane harvesting of game animals for food and hide. I also support population control (not because every deer walks in front of a car) but because the more deer the higher the chance of me and sons dying after hitting one and crashing due to overpopulation.

  • Why the fuck would they do this?

  • What The Fuck...

  • really no reason why they shouldnt have all been dead within a minute of being netted. nobody had a sidearm?

  • We, are animals, they are animals, It's called the food cycle, by the way you cant tell any of us what to eat, and if you didn't already know, were at the top of the food chain so i suggest so many of you to stop complaining and eat what you want.

  • True, that.

    This argument works perfectly for cannibalism, too, by the way.

  • What's wrong with Cannibalism? I'd try human meat.

  • @Riverboy1986 same, but you dont know that

  • And to all you anti hunters..this is better for the animal than a sudden quick death by a hunter who pays $ to hunt (the $ is used to protect the land /species) ??? Imagine the stress these animals go through.. Much better to allow hunters who will also feed their families this free range-all organic-hormone/pesticide-radi­ation free game. This is aweful.

  • Tell that to the 68,000 wounded deer left behind in Wisconsin 2008 killing season. Tell that to the millions of deer that suffer a slow painful death by bowhunters, even shotgun hunters I have seen but mostly bowhunters where deer die by drowning in their own blood , die on their own poison and overall their death is never "quick".

  • @DeliberateCruelty

    YOU DUMB SON-OF-A-BITCH ANY REAL HUNTER FINDS A DEER HE SHOT AT AND IF HE DOESN'T WELL THATS JUST HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES

    AS FOR POISONING THATS A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT AND SO IS THEY NEVER DIE QUICK IF YOU SHOOT A DEER IN THE HEART OR HEAD WHERE MOST PEOPLE AIM THEY DIE IMMEDIATELY!

    DEER RELATED CAR ACCIDENTS AREN'T HUNTERS FAULTS THEY ARE YOU FUCKING TREEHUGGERS FAULTS CAUSING THE POPULATIONS TO GROW OUT OF CONTROL AND GET HIT BY CARS

  • Plus all these deer are here because of hunting and their deliberate producing deer for recreational killing and sometimes when one tampers with nature there gets to be way too much . Also deer seek refuge where there is no hunters to escape gun fires and terrorist in the forest so its your people costing taxpayers tons of money and lets not forget that you are the cause of high deer vehicle accidents and human deaths! (check my uploads)

  • "free range-all organic-hormone/pesticide-radi ation free game. "

    Don't tell me you never heard of CWD and Prions which is DEADLY.

    BTW I am sure you consume meat besides "game" carcass and what about dairy? You drink soy milk and eat soy cheese? Because dairy is loaded with pus, hormones and all kind of crap.

  • this is just wrong.....dont make it suffer!!!!!!

  • thats fucking disgusting hunting is one thing but this is terrible fucking shoot a net on these cunts and shoot them see how they like it

  • I'll be the only one of a few hundred to say that I'm not going to judge what's going on until I know all the facts. I do know they used rocket nets and bolt guns to take samples from the populations of cervids during the time that CWD (deer equivelant of mad cow disease) was running rampant in the Nothern US. HUGE numbers of cervids were suffering the disease and they started worrying about it spreading to cow and then humans so they did a huge cull and testing. Rocket nets are EXPENSIVE!!!

  • facts who cares about facts? anti hunters just see deer being hurt or killed and BOOM all hunters a evil. this is a high dollar setup. This is not hunting its research and sometimes science doesn't look nice. Animals have to die for science so we can learn. Or we catch deer......operate and test the deer.........then save the deers life..........rehab the deer.......release the deer after millions of dollars in animal care........or just kill the deer and test.....saving time and money.

  • im a hunter ... always been and always wil be ... but this has nothing to do with hunting ... it is not a method that is used and its higly illegal ... i dont know whos reponsable for this but its obious that its not hunters ...

  • this is cruel u lazy fagots that dont want to pull a triger this should be illeigal

  • This is very inhumane. This is DEFINITLY NOT HUNTING. Like i have posted im some of your other videos, i support you guys trying to stop this massacreing of animals. Hunting is wayyyy different.

  • That's terrible!!

  • How is this hunting.........?

  • its not.

  • take a .308 to them

  • Not about this video, but other standpoints.

  • ElChupacabraLoco : Words of wisdom from a little man who watches South Park.

  • You're poorly educated and thats all I have to say.

  • crawboseth: Promise?

  • bucket0shrimp- that's about what you're probably worth. With change back, as well.

  • this is a result of over population due 2 u assholes stopping people from hunting at hunting clubs. deer overpopulation can kill people. they attack and u can die from hitting them with ur car. all yall r fucking retards. and go ahead and write ur little smart ass reply

  • milesayyy: Hunting does not solve overpopulation, it exacerbates it.

  • How can you be so stuburn to not see the good that comes out of this?

  • If you watch the deer in the middle it does a couple of flips in the air, this is absolutely horrible and inhumane! Hunters are the worst and most cowardly in our society, along with those idiots in the rodeo industry.

  • NorCaAnimalAdvocates. Did you know that rocket netting is controlled by state and goverment officials and leads to the overall health of the populations. These deer arent masacured, they are trapped and killed to be tested for disease like lime, and west nile. And the meat harvested from these animals goes to hunters for the hungry. A charity designed to help feed the underprivlidged and homless families of this country? So to stop these so called masacures your starving AMERICA. Thanks WILL.

  • willbilly292: The shooting of wolves in Alaska is controlled by the government also. So what? The wolf kills, coyote kills, deer kills and all the other government slaughters are cruel and pointless.

  • okay so you would rather eat meat that is beaten to death or electrcuted? whenever we were in tennesee we went to a bucther shop and they killed their livestock by having a guy stand their and beat the shit out of the animals head because thats the cheapest and most effiecent and all the meat u buy at the grocery store is killed in the same matter so stfu about cause u have no idea what ur talking about. btw thes arent hunters the are contracted by the state govertment to do this

  • johncoons1994: First, we don't eat meat. Second, we agree that those aren't hunters. We didn't claim they were.  They are incompetent forest preserve district employees.

  • AS a result of rocket netting deer are capatured and put down for research. Rocket netting is controlled by state and goverment officials in the state of texas otherwise illegal. Deer that are put down have test run on them for disease, and over health of that animal. There is alot more that goes into it than the mass slaughter of animals. Dont you agree that this practice is good for the overall national population of whitetail deer?

  • willbilly292: Rocket netting deer is cruel. There's no excuse for it.

  • Whats also cruel is when a mountain lion attacks innocent hikers, or when a grizzly bear kills a kid while he is camping. Its those animals nature hunt, just like it is in our nature as people. Rocket netting is more effient than stalking these game. the deer dont suffer as they are put down seconds later. How can you not agree that this over beneficial for people and deer? The homeless gets fed, and the deer get tested for disease to ensure the overall population is in good health

  • willbilly292: The video clearly demonstrates that the deer are NOT "put down seconds later."

  • Honestly hy does it matter, it seems to me they did as fast and as effecietly as they could and i cant stress enough that it leads to overall health of these animal. This practice is used for disease provention how can you say its no good? and by saying its pointless is cruelty it self right there,

  • duuude a mountain lion is cruel by atacking innocent hikers huh? nice one. if u had even the smalest excuse for a brain you would know that a fucking mountain lion, any animal for that matter has no sense of right or wrong or law or anything, animals live on instinct. a mountain lion is a predator. its instinct is to hunt in order to SURVIVE. besides how is a mountain lion killing "innocents" for food any different from humans killing innocent animals for food?

  • so typical for humans to kick up a fuss when the tides turn on them aye

  • Captive Bolt Gun?..sounds more like yuh wacked them over the head with a hammer 2me

  • Shark, I agree that his type of thing is brutal but given the current culture climate these deeds have become needed. Many in the anti hunting ranks have taken the possiblity of public control off the table and some "hunters" (i use this term loosely) have demonstrate the power of ignorance in the ranks of a VERY FEW in the hunting world. there has to be a happy meduim found we dont want u to hunt and we dont want to wear birkenstocks. working together is better then a stalemate

  • I vote for more tags. THis is seriously sick. Can't u SHARK ppl do something to give us hunters the right to control the population more humanely?, it would be a whole hell of alot better then this means of so called "population control".

  • brandygartman: Sorry, we don't find hunting to be the answer. Some of us are former hunters, and we know that there is a very high percentage of incompetent hunters out there. Additionally, we don't like to see animals killed. Humans can chemically control their own population, and it should be done that way with deer as well.

  • SHARK, do you eat meat? I don't think this method of killing is right. The whole net thing wasn't so bad, but what the hell are these rejects doing? Nobody out there knows what a rifle is anymore? And what do they do with the deer?

  • heyman20010: We don't eat meat, but if we did we'd still be opposed to this. This was a program of lethal deer removal, but the way it was done was clearly the work of amateurs, at taxpayer expense.

  • When you say "We", who are you referring to. Also, what do they do with the deer? And, yes, definitely a bunch of untrained amateurs. This is a very disgraceful and disrespectful method of removing the deer. No ethics utilized whatsoever.

  • heyman20010: SHARK is not one person, but an organization. That's the "we."

  • yea thats really controling u want to make the damn deer sterile thats really bttr then tags u stupid morons! if u make them sterile then y dont u wipe out the damn population NO BABIES MEAN NO MORE DEER!!!

  • So let me get this strait? SHARK is an organization of people complaining about EVERYTHING...i dont agree with how the government is handling this...but maybe extra deer tags? I know SHARK is against this too...so i wish every member of SHARK would hit a deer from overpopulation and kill all those behind SHARK. Dumb fags.

  • Pcahuna: Very interesting.

  • @Pcahuma

    Did you know that deer vehicle accidents has gone up as the result of hunting?

  • People have always hunted the population increases have caused the number of accidents to go up.

  • false. during deer seasons the animals go through a natural rise in movement. this period is called the rut where deer, mainly bucks, will go far outside of their normal stomping grounds in search of a doe in heat. the rut causes the deer to be seen more on roads not hunting.

  • well im not sure what ur trying to accomplish in this vid. your not going to stop the government. and this NEEDS to be done to controll the population

  • mxf7010g8k: Lethal removal doesn't need to be done, but if it is going to be done, it should be done competently and without unnecessary cruelty, don't you agree?

  • How else do you kill a wild animal that is skiddish around humans? Trap them or shoot them. You guys gotta pull your heads outta the sand (or your asses) & wake up & see what the over population of deer is doing ( cronic wasting disease in Alberta & Saskatchewan)

  • dpaliwoda1: Birth control is the humane way to control the deer population, although hunters oppose this because it will take away their number one excuse for the mass slaughter of deer.

    If you don't like chronic wasting disease, please let us know what opposition you have posted against the deer farms that are the cause of the problem.

    However, if animals are going to be killed, they should at least be killed by competent killers. These clowns were not competent.

  • i proly couldent use the captive bolt, i would rather use a rifle to kill them

  • fuck you...your a tree huggin cock sucker. do u have a site i can send some of my hunting videos to. im sure you would enjoy them

  • 440jeremy1989: Ah, what a tough guy. If you enjoy killing so much, we should send you to Afghanistan, where your targets could shoot back. Or is that a little too harsh for you? Clowns like you are always tough when you face no threat yourself.

  • SHARK...you should check out the band "Deadlock" They are all about protecting wildlife and being vegitarians.

  • Vandrandelik: Thanks for the info. We'll check that out.

  • these "killings" were done with the authoriy of the federal government in a strict management effort to keep a healthy deer herd to its carrying capacity of what land there is on the preserve, this isnt hunting which some people think it is which really confuses me????

    aside from that, the meat that comes from these "killings" goes towards food banks so whats wrong with feeding the homeless?

  • duckin4life: There's nothing wrong with feeding the homeless. There's everything wrong with making animals suffer.

  • To those who made disgusting comments on this video about deer and what happened to them: SHUT THE FUCK UP U ASSHOLES!!! this is not how u hunt deer or any freakin animal!! u do it quick,painless and humane!! I'm a mother fuckin hunter and I dont wanna hear no ridiculous response about how to kill a deer or hunt that isnt humane!! ESPACIALLY FROM SOME STUPID MORONS WHO DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE HUNTING HERRITAGE!!!!!!!!!

  • Who cares about deer, they are a menace to society. Look at how many car crashes deer cause and human fatalities. F all deer and F U Shark Assholes.

  • balto31: Who cares about you? You are obviously a blight on the human race, just a cruel moron, but we don't suggest that you should be harmed - just ignored.

  • The bleating of the deer was gut wrenching.....

  • First I am a hunter.

    Clearing up a few things: this is not hunting. This is deer "population control" gone wrong. It is inhumane and a cruel. Issue more tags to the locality to solve this, if a problem does exist.

    To those saying the donation of meat is a farce I'd like you to say that to the homeless of our area who are donated meat yearly. They are greatly appreciative of the hunters. I know I have volunteered at the shelter. Please do not speak of which you have not experienced.

  • wow hunting should not be done this way! Hunters should use good guns and good calibre bullets so that the deer die peacefully. If the deer are over populated why does the government just issue more hunting tags! That is what the Alberta government did to control the deer pop that had chorinic wasting than they are not wasted and don't die a high stress death!

  • Man that is the most inhumane thing i have seen for hunting in a long time, no wonder so many people wont eat wild meat...to have the animal stress this much before being killed makes the meat taste in credibly gamey. Not only that, it is incredibly crule and not very fair...if your going to hunt for your dinner at least try and do it humanely and not let these poor animals expect it. For a flight animal being trapped in a net would be living hell.

  • Why doesn't the local municipality make some more jobs and ire some butchers so this meat can go to empty food bank? If you think this is a humane solution, if not, fill your tags, butcher yourself and DONATE! There's alot of needy families out there.

  • newmexicanskys: The deer were allegedly donated to food banks.

  • Food banks are more excuse to kill more deer and the meat is non-USDA inspected, can have mad deer disease and pesticides. Its posion that wildlife killers love to just dump to these people who have no choice but to take them. You know how much food are wasted every year in America? Hunters really want to "help" the hungry then start a food salvage program, grow your own crops and give healthy food to the hungry. Not kill and dump!

  • If state and local governments kill deer this way to control the deer population because the deer eat residential shrubs! and then they don't even bother to butcher then and donate them to the starving food banks around the area..I say this is a discrace..if the govt hires these guys, hire some butchers too! Times are tough and poor families could use free food.

  • you know, thats a very good idea. it wouldnt be so bad if these animals were then fed to someone who needed it.

  • vixitrixalina: These animals were not killed by competent people. The killers thought they were all alone, and they were satisfied to let the animals suffer.

  • thats just disgusting. i am fine with [most] animals being killed if there is a valid reason for it, or if it is for eating, but so long as it is done humanely, and for specifically reared animals, they should have had a good quality like beforehand.

  • the best way to do this is traqulisers

  • How do you know if the deer meat is not diseased with pesticide or mad deer disease? That is why deer birth control is the only way to reduce deer population not lethal, lethal culling does nothing because of the ecological principle called "compensatory rebound effect" and that is why they have to kill the deer year after year after year with no end in site and deer vehicle accidents continues to rise.

  • BFD! Sure the workers could have responded a little more quickly to the deer, but there's nothing inhumane about this. Some of you are clueless. Theres a big difference between actual hunting and what you just saw. Contraceptives have issues of their own (which is why they're not widely used). They don't always work 100%. And, if these deer had CWD or blue tongue then they needed to be culled anyways. Get real.

  • ljcwalston: Here's real. The fact that these guys left the deer to suffer is conclusive proof that it was inhumane and they should have been prosecuted.

    Contraceptives are the way to go, but because hunters are afraid that then they'll lose their claim that "there's too many deer," the hunting lobby does everything it can to keep contraception out.

    The deer were not diseased, so why bring that up? It is not a factor.

  • Captive bolt is one of the most humane and effective ways to dispatch animals. They don't "suffer."

    And contraceptives? why not kill off the diseased or overpopulated animals be killed off HUMANELY with a captive bolt and allow the healthy animals to reproduce, producing a healthy next generation?

  • thugBreinstein: The captive bolt was not made for use on deer, which have very narrow skulls. It was made for use on domesticated animals such as cows and hogs in a well lighted, controlled environment, not for use at night on wild animals. Clearly the animals did suffer.

    When deer and netted and bolted at night, no one can see a healthy animal from an unhealthy one.

  • hey dipshit, a captive bolt is MORE than effective ondeer. If anything, it's quicker and less painless, since the bolt penetrates the deer's thinner skulls more quickly. so shut the fuck up.

  • thugBreinstein: Sorry you have to resort to the nasty language.

    The narrow skull means that it is very difficult to hit the critical spot required to attain immediate death or even render the animal unconscious, and the video shows that.

  • thanks for your concern you self righteous faggot.

    Actually, hitting the critical spot is easier, since there is less room for error. the bolt destroys a larger portion of the deers' brain, which allows the bolt to hit the area even if it isn't completely on target.

  • thugBreinstein: I'm sorry, but the smaller the target, the harder it is to hit. This is especially true on a wild (versus domestic) animal in a dark (versus well-lighted) environment.

  • I hunt with a gun and it is much less stressful to the animals then capturing it in a net and then killing it. This are one of the methods that should not be used on a deer.

  • Most deer don't even realize they are shot and just run then die actually preatty peacefully

    especially if you have a powerful gun and get a good shot

  • i wouldnt say peacefully, but they may be shocked for a second or two, but it is quick and humane. i think the only peaceful death is through a coma or in your sleep.

  • Hunting is not bad but methods of certain types of hunting is.

  • What is that bright light. It's really bad quality. This people need to be shot

  • why are they doing this anyways. ??? OMG poor dear. Hummm that looks like struggling to me.

  • it seems to me the cocksucker that did thishas no balls to go shoot a deer the right way fuckin panzies

  • hunting is about 100 times more humane than this

  • Them nets must be huge!

  • Hunters give billions every year towards wildlife, you give wildlife this by stopping hunters. So why you sit here and post videos and try to convince the world hunting is bad. I go out and control the deer herd. Give money back to the goverment to spend on the wildlife. And o yea since i can't eat all the deer meat i kill, I donate to poor famlies. So who's the better actvist me or you.

  • "So why you sit here and post videos and try to convince the world hunting is bad"

    The org that posted this states in the description that this video shows an alternate method of controlling the deer pop which some "governments" (who knows which ones) state is less stressful on the animals than a heart/lung shot by a hunter. "This video proves that to be a lie," meaning this method is MORE stressful than letting hunters get some meat. Check out the org's headline picture, featuring "RESPECT"

  • but on the other hand. why not just have like 10 dudes with rifles shoot at the same time. that would be cool too.

  • thats cool.

    good idea.

    i hunt

    and like to kill shit too.

    haha. there are way too many deer .

    especially in iowa. where i live and too many accidents involving deer.

    they need to be hunted/killed off more. .

    they are resorting to coming into the city when weather is bad

  • It is not compassionate to chemically nuter animals who's entire existance is wild and mostly human free. The ones around the towns and cities pose a risk of safety. Lets look at this from another angle. Where would you like to live in the woods or city? If city then you help warehouses deforest the world, if in the country then your imposing on the natural world, this is just how things are, we eat, therefor we kill. Ever have an egg?

  • No not at all, but we must find a way to control numbers, if you think birth control is the key then you believe in culling animals as well, as this will remove vertually everything in only a few short years, suppose we get every animal on birth control. Who pays for this? What happens when these animals not allowed to reproduce die? The whole population dies. I don't see deer wearing rubbers anytime soon, no really, it is more ethical to hunt and eliminate a few rather than starve a LOT.

  • Your a fucking idiot, but lets play your game, so the government found it necessary to put down a few deer. I don't see any videos from you showing how thousands of these animals were dying from cronic waist disease. I don't see any videos of how our children were attacked by wild animals. Here's one for example a small child age 6 was attacked by a coyote, ok, how about this there was a biker killed by a cougar in California. Hmm.. I could go on, but my text space is running out. Just grow up!

  • whatisunknown: So your answer is to kill every animal on the planet? That is senseless. The answer in the case of deer is contraception, but the hunting lobby, scared to death that they will lose their excuse for killing something, blocks all efforts to advance a compassionate solution.

  • When you kill a deer then more than one takes it place, there are less and less hunters in the world these days. Most people have never actually seen a farm in person, its not that hunters are incompassionate, its quiet the opposite. Contraception is out of the question with the cost alone, plus animals will always have a way of reproducing, so that will in fact cause mutation. Is that what you want? If your a vegetarian then you could never understand the enjoyment of fresh, NONCHEMICAL meat.

  • We can pay people to kill deer to control the herd or we can have hunters do it. You animal activists crack me up. You know more money is created by hunters to help save wild life habit then anyother method. Also in programs hunters donate the deer meat to poor family's to eat. So lets see the postive side of hunters: Poor family's get food, deer population is controlled and money is created for programs to ensure wildlife. please show me how this is a bad idea.

  • hunters only care about protecting these animals habitat so they can guarantee that they will be able to continues to hunt. they don't actually care about the animals (just as long as the deer stick around so they can continue their sport). also, hunters only donate meat to look good in the eyes of the public, and its also a away to get rid of the meat so they can justify killing another deer.

  • ooo deer are gettin netted!!

  • you are a fucking dumbass if they were shot with a captive blot like at a meat house death on impact to the brain ugh fucking dumbass i bet there beine tranquilized and tested for cwd also known as blue tounge so go to hell dumbass im from mississippi bitch

  • hey shark i bet your scared of guns arent you?? what about C.W.D is that a good way for a deer to die??? myself i prefer a well placed shot to the vitals for a quick clean kill. in urban evironments deer are a menace but i do agree that this was not a resonable way to kill these deer. in ohio we have controlled hunts put on by the dnr or local government. THEY WORK!!! about the slobbering hunters that is offensive to me. i hunt and dont slobber while doing so. and im in your staggering majority

  • jeepster: Allow me to straighten out a few misconceptions. SHARK personnel not only do not fear guns, but some of us also shoot. As for the Ohio mention, we did in fact film one of those programs, and it was not a good scene. The video is up on YouTube. For what it is worth, hunters are not a staggering majority. Their numbers have been steadily declining for years. I believe it is now below six percent.

  • It doesn't matter what the government does to control animal populations, there will still be PETA-types that are going to make problems. Do you think they WANT to cull the herds? They're just doing their jobs as instructed due to TOO MANY DEER. Guns can be inaccurate and time consuming and inhumane. Nets get 4 at a time and the bolt goes right in the brain. You would prefer they use CHEMICAL STERLIZATION? Are you serious? Just so you can complain about chemicals in wild animals then.

  • guns and AMMO are expensive too. this is about the most humane and cost effective way to manage a deer heard while not doing a management hunt. theres a thing called carrying capacity SHARK and its the level that a population reaches right before they start starving to death bc they eat all the food available. actions like this have to be taken so the carrying capacity wont be exceeded. look it up shit head.

  • I would think its more humane to use good hunters with rifles.

  • they are not being killed you stupid asshole they are being tranqualized and relocated you dumb shit bunny hugger if trying to steralize deer and not hunt them then go ahead and try it cause it doesnt work deer reproduce along with all other animals way to fast to have that be effective so do some god damn research and stop makin shit up F*ck head oh yeah and go eat some colliflower and poison ivy dickhead

  • bullride: Leave to some rodeo thug to interject insanity into this issue. The deer are being killed. There is no argument about this save for your lunacy, combined with a liberal dose of obscenity and profanity that completely evaporates any question about your single digit IQ.

  • So what happened to all the meat. Did they donate the meat to hungry-homeless people? I am hungry, but not homeless. Looks like alot of good meat for those who need to eat.

  • i dont get it,it looked like they get eletrecutied or something.

  • are they allowed to do that

  • redbaby: Unfortunately, yes, although it is supposed to be a fast and painless death, not drawn out like this.

  • i like that u comment back. but can u tell me y they do this and y cant they just leave it to hunters a better way to end a deers life cause we use the meat and does michigan use this techneique

  • Is a captive bolt one of those things that the guy used in "No Country for Old
