CN Live | Is Hunting Evil?

About this video

Colion interviews Nick Pinzone, president of the National Deer Alliance, who explains his organization’s approach to advocating for science-based deer management and regulated hunting. Nick describes what he characterizes as emotional opposition to hunting (citing deer vasectomies on Staten Island as an example), and argues that regulated hunting serves as humane wildlife management. Colion and Nick discuss the spiritual and experiential dimensions of hunting, with Colion sharing his perspective as a relative newcomer to the activity and how outdoor shooting sports led him to appreciate nature.

Key takeaways

• Nick argues that regulated hunting is necessary for humane deer population management, contrasting it with what he describes as emotion-based alternatives like deer vasectomy programs
• According to Nick, only 5-7% of Americans hunt, making education of the general public about conservation and wildlife management critical to his organization’s mission
• Colion reflects that his experience with outdoor shooting sports served as a gateway to appreciating nature and eventually hunting, illustrating what he sees as a symbiotic relationship between firearms advocacy and hunting culture
