My opinion would be that states established hunting seasons long ago at a time when not as many deer were present. I would think as the population explodes and they see that hunting to reduce the population as they've always done it is not good enough anymore, look at the nuisance permits and what some cities are doing to curb the problem. With animal rights and politics what they are, I personally do not see much of anything happening to really address this problem anytime soon. We are past pointing fingers as to who's to blame about the population explosion, that horse was dead long ago, we can do that all day and accomplish nothing, but the fact is, more and more humans will die until some real solutions are brought forward. Find that solution, one thats palatible to all, and economical, and you'll be rich.
