Back then it was to eat or be eaten, so the consummate hunter is easily the strongest man in the group.

His hunter instincts tell man that the best place to hunt is always in the wild. Untouched areas like thick forests and similar locations are choice habitats for most beasts. In these secluded areas, they are left to grow in numbers that may cause a disrupt in the ecological balance, especially if there are no predators who can keep their growing population in check. Thus, maintaining the balance is one of the best known modernized reasons as to why people still join in whitetail deer hunts in Ohio.
