The book du jour is Marv Levy's Where Else Would You Rather Be? That was what the former Buffalo Bills' coach would say to his players before every game. While the book is mostly about Marv's football coaching career he does express his opinion on hunting and fishing. Here is an exerpt from his book:
"Killing creatures is sport? Somehow, to me, it seems like an ultimate act of cruelty. I've heard and read that malarkey about "harvesting the herd," and I don't believe a word of it. That phrase ranks high on my list of heinous euphemisms. It has always mystified me that someone can snuff out the only life one of God's creatures will ever have and then blithely call himself a "sportsman" for having done so."
Right on, Marv!

Tell this to the people here in Amherst where the deer overpopulation has caused many car accidents resulting in property loss and even a number of deaths.The herd must be thined regardless of what Marv thinks.
