The changing face of deer hunting: Is it a good thing?

Sparano has seen a lot during a long career as an outdoor communicator. He is the author of the Complete Outdoors Encyclopedia. His books can be found at www.amazon.com. (Stock photo)

I’m not sure what happened to deer hunting and I’m also not sure I like it. I’m an old deer hunter right now, but I started deer hunting when I was about 16 or 17 years old. 
I was born and raised in the city of Newark (New Jersey), not exactly a frontier town. No one in my family were hunters, so I started out on my own through the world of outdoor magazines. If someone told me back then that I would ultimately end up as Editor-in-Chief of Outdoor Life, I would have said they were totally nuts.
