I want to stress that the whole point of well managed hunting is to not have to do culls in the first place. To not be in that situation. I think that there's a very specific circumstance where criticism of culling applies. When bcc is high and ccc is low. It's not biologically necessary to cull those deer. The town has a financial or social interest in culling them.
There are clear site demonstrations of deer managed for hunting at historic levels which don't destroy biodiversity, they increase it. Which manage the population well below ccc while increasing the bcc. I think that, rather than paying for these expensive and ineffective culls, or planning not to plan - just letting nature run it's course...they should use those models to generate income for their communities and their conservation efforts.
I know that animal activists don't want to kill animals, but the actions we take and policies we support don't always have the effect we might intend.
Put a simpler way....with respect to what I think each group wants....
Hunters want there to be more and healthier game.
Animal activists want there to be fewer hunters.
