As crappy as it is if you drink you will have that problem to contend with too isn’t just the deer thing bad enough why add to it.
That being said I get it crap happens and for some stupid reason by default we just wanna go drink it away. It sucks but it won’t fix anything.

there is quite a few more deer in my area these days as well in the northeast. I couldnt be happier we used to have the same heard of like 4-8 wonder around it was pathetic now i see its almost 30 in the heard.
I dont really see hunting as a need to knock down those pests deer getting into gardens. I kinda think we are the pests. we built up these concrete jungles on there habitats they where just going about there business and we came along.
I'm a vegan so I suppose it plays a little role in my view but before going vegan i went hunting and slaughtered my fair share of chickens and such for the family table. That being said another gripe i have iwth hunting is the folks that go out there and dont exactly need that meat for the family table but more or less enjoy the sport of it or the trophy. From my view killing anything isnt really a "sport" and shouldnt be given a "trophy" for it. I think if you choose to kill and eat some animaly you have to treat this animal with the up most respect as its giving up his life so you can have yours etc..
just my 2 cents and yeah i know off topic. i couldnt resist tho.

Hunting is certainly a topic that has strong opinions on both sides of the fence, but let's not make this into a debate about that issue please. We are all here to help support each other as it pertains to our alcohol and addiction issues. Certainly outside factors are at play and can be discussed, but there are other more appropriate places to argue the theory/merits of those topics.

I don't know how you can compare deer now to a century ago, and I question how reliable estimates were in 1918. 30X seems high. I'd take that with a grain of salt. I don't even know anyone who was alive in 1918 to ask what they think.

When we finally sober up, we realize that life still happens. Except now, we can't run and hide from it. That's why it's important to have strong recovery tools at our disposal. I find that talking to someone always helps me. We're all in this thing together. None of us have to suffer alone anymore.

Glad to hear you didn't drink today Lab. Being sober will help you regain confidence in all areas of your life and allow you to make better decisions, looks like that's already happening!

You sound like a hunter with a conscience Laqbrador. That is a good thing. My former brother-in-law(he past away) loved to hunt. He used to take the elk and deer he brought down to the processors and then bring them to our house when ready. Man I miss those days. I never wasted one pack he brought over and consumed every one. he was a good man. Those were fond memories.
