gaseousclay, the system of the OP has created the problem, so it's obvious that "hunting season" shooting of the deer fails to deal with the problem. If anything, it makes the problem worse.
If those in authority won't deal with the problem, who is left to do so?
To believe that obedience to a law is sufficient unto itself, regardless of harm: That is a Statist attitude, and is exactly what we see in government in WashDC today. It is what is desired by the TSA and Homeland Security.
Note: In a normal ecosystem, killing out of season or after hours, etc., etc., is indeed poaching.
I guess it's that I believe that rational killing for what is factually "the good of the species" or "protection of an ecosystem" is not poaching.
Although wildlife agencies try to have the best interests of game animals as their credo, that is irrelevant to the thesis of the OP.
