3 Reasons why hunting causes high Deer Vehicle Accidents year after year after year...

I think hunters may have pretty much ran out of excuses as to why they are not to blame for the high Deer Vehicle Accidents in the fall (all year for that matter)

Human Fatality in DVA is Murder One "Over 1.5 million deer/vehicle crashes occur per year in the U.S., causing over $1.1 billion in vehicle damage, more than 29,000 human injuries and 150 deaths." Statistics may be boring, but they are consistent. It dictates that given 30 million deer roaming across the land, and given 3-trillion vehicle-miles per year on American highways, and, not least of all, given a hunting reason entertaining 1.5 million hunters in Pennsylvania alone, and 15 million across the land, which causes deer to blindly dash out of forests into the path of speeding vehicles in evasion of the lethal human intruders the hunters, there WILL be about 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) or deer-vehicle accidents (DVAs), which WILL cost about 1.5 million deer lives and about 150 human lives, plus about 30,000 human injuries. According to hunting sources, there were originally about 30 million white-tailed deer in America. History went through a period of unregulated "market hunting", which decimated the deer population to some 300,000 nation-wide, and zero in certain states including Indiana. Since then, the deer population had rebounded back to its original number of about 30 million, but in a much reduced area, due to human occupation of their previous range, including vast tracks of farm land that used to the deer habitat. This creates an over-population density situation, which causes ecological damage as well as human deaths. This begs the question as to how this could be possible and how it could have happened. The answer is that the deer population is being inadvertently as well as intentionally cultivated to overpopulation densities by human manipulation of the environment. Inadvertently, due to clear cut logging, which opens up broad expanses of sunlit pastures rich in deer food, and intentionally, due to the deliberate super-feeding of deer by means of food plots, basically clear cut areas deliberately seeded with deer food crops. And this begs the question as to why. The answer is this: There are 300 million Americans, of which only about 6% hunt, which, though a small minority, still amount to 15 million hunters, most of whom hunt deer, each targeting at least one, requiring 15 million deer to give them the baseline satisfaction. The departments of Natural Resources and of Wildlife in some states also impose the rule that to get a buck, a hunter must first kill one or more does. Plus the temptation that the more licenses and permits the state sells, the greater the revenue. All in all, Pennsylvania alone requires some1.5 million deer per year to satisfy its 1.5 million hunters, and America requires 10-million-plus deer to satisfy the 10-million-plus deer hunters. Thus, the food plots across the American semi-wild landscape. And thus the high deer-vehicle collision rates, and deer deaths, and human deaths. I repeat. Statistics dictates that given the deer overpopulation, and the vehicle-mile volume, and the deer hunting season, there WILL be so many human deaths. And I repeat - human deaths. The policy makers should understand this, or they are incompetent. If they are not incompetent, the only logical conclusion is that the accidents and collisions are deliberately caused, collateral damage, as it were. It follows that the human casualties and fatalities are themselves deliberately caused. This is legal in war, but not in peace. Is Pennsylvania at war? If not, then a serious crime has been committed. It is called premeditated murder, Murder One. Maybe even a crime of terrorism, because we never know when and where a DVA will occur, only that it will happen, and innocent people will be hurt or killed. And they have been hit, and killed. I suggest getting all the families of the accident victims together and launching a class lawsuit for wrongful death. I hope that my logic has held up. As to doing it. Well, will the pro bono lawyers line up please? by Anthony Marr

My comment was to long cause I state the truth. Your beef that goes to the slaughter house suffers more. Most hunters hunt for food. I've killed many deer I've never had to track.

[DeliberateCruelty]

Slaughterhouse animals suffers and I agree with that but remember with sports hunters there is a lot of animals left wounded and crippled to die a slow death especially from bowhunting. In bowhunting when the animals are shot there is no "quick death" 99% of the time that is why hunters wait before retrieving or tracking the deer because the wounded animals can get spooked and take off so they "let the deer layup and die".

accually hunting helps the economy, the enviornment, and deers ruin crops and farms and cause accidents when there is an abundance. hunting is important.

You have not watched my other uploads have you? Please do so especially the one called 'why we have always too many deer plus what is compensatory rebound effect?"

[DeliberateCruelty]

sports wildlife killers always "helps the economy" to justify animal cruelty for "fun". Actually wildlife watching brings more money

Plus more people will get into wildlife watching if killers are not in the forest destroying animals they love and endangering human lives. They don't want to mention that wildlife watching is bigger money maker because they need to say and do whatever works to keep sports hunting going.

First of all you are comparing yourself with carnivore animals (flesh eaters and killers of the wild) which human are not. We were designed for plants and non-killing so your kind can live in their own fantasy world that man is "natural predators" of the wild but you are not. You are store bought "predators" and without all that gadgets and weapons most of you could never catch a damn thing maybe a rabbit if you are fast enough but you are not.

[DeliberateCruelty]

Horses are used for meat all over the world I am sure you know that by now. Also human flesh are food for many carnivores like sharks, gators, and all kinds of predators of the wild. Why don't you become a food source for them too and do your share.

We have a choice today not to kill but whats worse is sports hunters intentionally go out with a full stomach and destroy life for "fun".

hahaha you hippie sack of shit..you are god damn pathetic..if you took one just one, the most fucking basic college level environmental management class you would learn about carrying capacity...you sick sack of shit go suck maobamas cock
