So people go out, shoot a deer and just leave it there?

Seems like an extreme waste to me...

It's usually not that much extra effort to take the carcass and bring it to a butcher, so they do that sometimes. But yeah. Often, just leave it.

It's actually not all that bad because we have a lack of natural predators (because we already hunted them almost to extinction) so hunting keeps the deer population from exploding.

Ok, so they also do make a good deed in adition to just hunting.

More like helping fix a problem they caused in the first place, but yeah.
