Sorry, but that's totally and completely incorrect. Deer actually have few natural predators. They are about as fecund as rabbits and that is one reason there are so many deer andy why people seem to notice more deer these day. Habitat improvement and encroachment is another. Improved herd management is aonther. There are many reasons for a large and a seemingly over large population but I just don't have time right now to go into it all.
