That's not the choice, Matt, since a dear doesn't have the entertainment options open to humans, I'd imagine mating is what keeps him going. Does wandering around looking at all the other males do what nature intended while your biggest thrill is raiding my neighbors garden sound like a fun existence? Whats the point of evading coyotes and bears if your life has no meaning? If a deer had thumbs he'd probably take the gun himself and say at least he is no longer a drain on the other dear's resources (O.K. that part was a joke)
