> white-tailed deer are growing exponentially Yes, and worse, some (uninformed people) see the growth of any species as a positive sign that nature is bouncing back, or whatever.

The knock-on effect of one species's sudden growth spurt may take decades to play out in the shadows, but it is almost assuredly not a good thing.
