All I can say is I havn't had any deer chili yet, but does sound good. Till I joined the AF, I used to hunt all the time. It's the hunters who try to keep down the population. But then the tree huggers screw it all up for us and make things harder. There is a balance and we hunters play a big part of it. As long as your not poching, everything goes well. Most states have a very good idea on how many hunting licences to issue based on the % of the deer pop. If it's low, then not many licences are given. If it's high, or too high. Then they might give out a crap load to make a balance.
