[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5862198, member: 17"] Although it was not sport hunting but market hunting that wiped out the whitetails. No limits, no legal harvest means. Market hunters shot every deer they could find to sell to the East Coast meat markets. No laws existed about how deer could be killed. They were slaughtered wholesale, including jack-hunting (night hunting with focused lanterns - basically an early form of spotlighting). In reality, it was the invention of the refrigerated boxcar that wiped out the white-tailed deer in the late 1800s. The ability to transport hundreds of thousands of deer carcasses to the East Coast without them spoiling was the death knell of deer, as well as the ability to sell wild game meat commercially.
