42. Exactly and well said

I too don't like to hunt myself..I do hunt deer on my FIL farm ground simply for the purpose of culling..he keeps track of the populations and has absolutely no desire to kill them off, just control the populations. Some years the small group who hunt his ground kills 15 or 20 deer, other years only he and I hunt and sometimes nobody hunts them all depending on the local populations. Contrary to popular lore, most land owners aren't interested in exterminating any wildlife species, only keeping them in check. This process results in healthier populations. A great recent example of the negative effect of over populated species is the "chronic wasting disease" spread from domestic to wild deer populations threatening wide spread, interstate death. My state increased permits available to hunters from a maximum of 2 per person statewide to as high as 6 in some zones and the spread was controlled..haven't heard of a case for a few years now..deer populations are healthy and thriving..
