Understory | Meet the Suburban Deer Hunters of Long Island

8m 35s

Baratunde Thurston meets Jacqueline Molina, a member of a new group of hunters embracing the sport. Her weapon of choice is a bow & arrow, and while some of the reasons why she hunts are rooted in tradition, others are related to conservation. Deer overpopulation is a big problem in Long Island, NY, and hunting is the primary - but also the most controversial - method of managing deer populations.
