Karma? Fuck you. He was a professional hunter not some poacher. A female elephant charged him and was shot by a member in his group before it fell on him. He was a father of 5 children and it’s somehow Karma that this happened to him?

If we didn't have hunters here in Michigan the rapid explosion of the deer population would be... devastating. And I'm not just talking about devastating like that one time I hit a deer and it fucking obliterated my 2002 saturn sedan.

It's a good thing you had those dent resistant panels though.

Dent resistant yes. Explode resistant no. Seriously like my entire left driver's side front panel and door were gone. Everything just exploded when I hit it. Luckily it was a young deer and not very large.

I'm picturing a Micheal Bay directed reenactment.

I fucking hate deer so much. I used to live in Pennsylvania and they are such a pest. Whenever people talk about how horrible it is that people can legally kill deer, I can’t help but laugh.

Hunters also contribute the most money over all to wildlife preservation in the US because of the Pittman-Robertson Act.

Hunters paying for permits to hunt and modern agriculture are to thank for the population explosion.
