Yeah deer are one of the only animals whose populations are higher than pre-Colombian exchange. We basically created their ideal environment across the entire country, forest at the edge of open field.

The most common causes of death for deer are, in order: Human hunting, car collisions, starvation, and last is predation (predation does outrank car collision in certain areas with few people and few cars). Very few animals are actually capable of taking down an adult deer, so if they survive to adulthood they’re almost guaranteed to be killed by a human or by living long enough they wear down their teeth until they can’t chew food anymore and starve to death.
