As general rule, we aren't out there hunting to provide dog food or easy prey for hungry wolves. We are out there to provide meat for families and friends or neighbors who don't have time to be out there hunting themselves. Yes, deer hunting and all other forms of hunting are directly related to a sizeable portion of American culture.
Deer hunting is a culture.
