In some places in the US, deer are pests, and state conservation agents actually shoot them to thin their numbers. Otherwise, lacking a sufficient number of natural predators in the area, the population would explode to a number greater than the land could handle. This would cause a significant portion of the deer population to die of famine and disease, and cause local flora and crops to be eaten bare.
