Letter: Why not postpone deer season?

With deer season starting soon there are many does with fawns so young and small that they still have soft spots and some are even newborn. Deer season should be postponed or killing these does banned.
Also, there is no bear season in Marion County, so if a bear is seen, do not kill it. They are harmless anyway.
I will never understand how hunting is a sport when high-powered guns with scopes are used against a defenseless animal. If a person needs the meat, that is different. However, health experts are advising eating little.
