Yeah, trying to explain to people who think hunting deer is unethical or bad for nature is always difficult. There is no such thing as unaltered nature in North America, the native populations were extremely good at creating forest that could pump out enough deer to feed millions of people and hundreds of thousands wolves at the same time.

Doing nothing is just wrecking the ecology that was shaped over hundreds if nothing thousands of years and creating systemic collapses that destroy what diversity we have left.
