There's seems to be some fundamental misunderstanding here.  You're
assuming that the smartest/best deer ARE able to compete in the 
smartest environment.  Don't tell me that when a hunter looks down
at a herd of deer with his/her 5 inch telescopic howitzer, that they're
aiming at the culls.

I'm in favour of hunting ... provided you hunt grizzlies with a spear.:-)
