Is Deer Culling good or bad?

Culling the population of deers comes with pros and cons. Controlling the number of deers allowed to live in a long term period may affect the plantation in the environment. Pests like wild deers are normally being allowed to reproduce yearly or in a long term period of time before the hunters that have been given license can be given the right to exterminate them. It can also allow the hunters to exercise while hunting them as they run around chasing deers can help them enhance their stamina. deer hunting has been around for 350,000 years. Artifacts found in Germany and France have paintings or carvings about humans years ago hunting deer.

In comparison, if deers are left to their own business they may end up overpopulated and they may start overgrazing food sources they normally eat. In my own way of viewing, I guess it helps people adapt to harsh living conditions like hunting wild animals for survival in case of emergency. 

Accurately, around 1.7 million is the current population of deer around New Zealand whilst around 54,000 are normally being diminished each year. Deer can populate quite fast so they may be a chance that the normal reproduction rate of deer each year may vary. As deer don't have that many predators that hunt them it enables them to repopulate much faster than other pests in New Zealand.

Managing the population of deer is to ensure that we can have a healthy and balanced environment. it can also help us reduce the potential chances of acquiring diseases from deer. Car incidents that relate to deer can also be reduced if their numbers are kept on a sustainable rate. Therefore I
