That wasn't an official. That was Linda Byer, wildlife biologist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife.
She should know better than make a statement like that.
Hopefully she was misquoted.
I'd hate to think one of our state's biologists thinks bowhunting is "evil".

Hope the location gets changed a little.
I could have had a dandy 8 pt off my in-laws back porch 3 times...easy 100'' deer...
Nothing like hunting from a recliner...

"It is important that people realize that bow hunting is one of the necessary evils, or the deer population will keep expanding," Byer said.
In my opinion this is a statement that an anti would make. Demonizing the people that are major contributors to your salary is not something that I would recommend.

I see how it looks bad, but with it being a one liner, it is tough to see the context. It sounds to me that she is speaking to the anti's. Neccesary evil is a pretty standard term, maybe not the best one to use, but I don't think that is the message she was trying to convey. Just my .02
