It's Boring on Here

[Rass]

Up on cedar mountain (where I go deer hitting) they did some logging.  It drastically improved the environment for the deer.  They do clear cut in a couple spots so meadows can form and support that life.

Sure it's great for that life. But what about all the other live that was living there already. Now they have been disturbed.

So let me get this straight.

The place you go deer hunting starts running out of deer. And the answer the community came to was something other than "stop killing too many deer."

I'm not even talking about ethics of hunting, here. I'm just not understanding how altering an entire ecosystem is the response to over-hunting instead of easing off the hunting and letting the deer repopulate.

Logging in the U.S. is highly regulated.  Now in other countries, their logging standards piss me off. 

I'd like to place my vote for Deer Hitting to become an Olympic sport.

Gotcha.  I made an assumption. I apologize for my misunderstanding.

Lets assume things like deforestation when brought up in a topic like this are referring to actual crisis situations where national forest are being lost. Lets take the amazon rainforest for example. Not small regulated areas, but actual deforestation that normally ends up as residential and urban developments, displacing the natural wildlife.

My academic bowl coach brought up global warming, and I would like to thank Taysby for not being him. He was an absolute dick, laughing at my face, saying all of my facts (which I check twice, so they were correct) weren't true (without actually backing up his claims), and all of his "facts" were absolute bullshit (I checked). So thank you Taysby, for actually debating and not just rejecting facts in favor of the ones you pull out of your ass.
