I don't know a single hunter who doesn't have at least the antlers of their best buck

Oh so most the hunters you know are so shit they've only killed two deer ever, since you said it was half the reason?

I don't know a single hunter with deer antlers on the wall. Maybe in the 70's akd 80's if you happened to fell a particularly old buck with like 10 spikes or more.

But anyone under the age of 60 hasn't had antlers hanging on their walls since the 90's. Last time I saw some coincided with heavily nicotine yellow walls from indoor smoking.

Hunting roe deer is like shooting vermin, basically. While selling deer tags (apparently that's what you call felling permits) is apparently possible and hunting licences don't have tests and you can buy them as non-residents (jesus the US really is a capitalist shithole), who the fuck would want to hunt roe deer? I can see some large red deer being attractive for hunters, but that's veering into trophy hunting. And since tje conversation is about population control and not trophy hunting, I don't know why you're bringing it up. ^(/s)
