>Same with cars. I realise that humans need some space. We are a crowding sort of entity, but where will the deer go when we've made sure there is no more such thing as a 'rural' area.

When there is no such thing as a 'rural' area left, I think that we will have more problems than where are the deer going to live.

>On the other hand, at least in fishing, you don't normally line them up in your scope and blast them out of the water.

Have you ever watched Secondhand Lions? Actually, you are baiting them with food and pretty much trapping them. I see more sportsmanship in hunting than in fishing, however, I do also enjoy fishing.

>That sounds useful. At least then the death of the animal doesn't only come down to trespassing or 'sport'.

Deer hunters eat the meat too. If I ever saw a "hunter" shoot a deer, celebrate, and leave him lay, I would tell him what I thought of him.
