But the hunting and road kills have not had a significant impact on the deer numbers.

Other than humans, few predators exist in the suburbs, allowing deer numbers to boom.

It is probably the deprivation of natural predators that drove deer numbers over the edge.

When winters are mild, deer numbers generally increase.

But even with these ancient woodlands we still had to keep the deer numbers down or they would have stopped the natural processes in their tracks.

And in New York State, deer numbers are up from 300,000 in 1954 to nearly 1 million?

A major focus of the position is the regulation of deer numbers.

Some states are changing regulations in ways that could cut deer numbers, but hunters are resisting.

Indeed, the notion of cutting deer numbers through contraception has been waning in academic circles.

This should be monitored regularly, and deer numbers set to prevent further deterioration of the habitat.
