Deer Hunting Tragedy

The tragedy of the commons explain how a resource or resources are shared by many individuals but there is no particular person that has access to claim any part of the resource, other than for personal gain. Because the resources are open to the public, it’s considered to be “fair game”. A good example of what would be considered the tragedy of the commons would be deer hunting. Deer hunting is a lucrative hobby. Many people today deer hunt for a hobby but the economical side of it has increased as well, as more and more restaurants and stores are selling deer meat. Because the forests and other heavily populated areas that house deers are not privately owned, this allows for more people to chime in on this low-key money making trait, making
it difficult for more resources and profit to be shared.
