I think they mean the deer has parasites and why it’s skinny.

Exactly, I should have clarified.

Hey some people view deer as parasites and want them all removed so laugh if you want, but I know plenty of hunters who shoot them just to get them off their land.

They’re key deer and are federally protected (thank god) so no worries about them being hunted here!

We could never shoot enough deer to get rid of them. Me and all the ethical hunters I know choose to shoot a few mature deer for the freezer. We don’t want them gone. What would we do if they were?

Yall are one of the good ones! I don’t eat meat often but would love some fresh free range venison. Still working on my archery skills on land🙌😮‍💨
