Deer or Humans?

I was thinking a few days ago. Stand back or you may get burned. This may not even be an original thought but one i fet like posting regardless.
I have no problem with people who hunt, I think they serve a very valuable service: culling populations so the food scarcity of winter doesn't cause starvation, a much more painful and suffing way to die. I also think that there are large number if intellegent people who hunt. A couple examples: my dad used to hunt and my sister-in-law's husband is someone that I have tremendous respect for. But every year there are a number of deaths from hunters shooting each other.

I was just wondering if the hunting season is a way of culling the deer populations, or whether it is away of culling the human population?
But actually just searching for the above articles.....I thought of a flaw in my reasoning.....the stupid people are the ones doing the shooting, not the ones getting dead. Unless they are hunting-related suicides, then there really is no point in my whole rant.
