Yes...but, the deer population is out of control and demand greater reintroduction of predators. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112721006241 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03781... The issue is that deer effect forest regeneration, and there needs to be an increase in seedlings to keep the habitat healthy. Deer definitely effect oak trees, and so the forest makeup in places like CT is shifting to more maple and less oak. As a result it makes it harder for other species that depend on mast trees for food. The solution isn't for us to just exterminate deer, but we need to be careful about that population growing out of control.
