RE: This is Why I Like Deer Fences

I’m curious how the deer predators where you are came to be depleted. I know the history in England and we now have professional cullers for deer there, because they completely wiped out wolves hundreds of years ago. Australia did it's usual of bringing deer to a place which had no predators for them in the first place.
Is it to populated for hunting where you are?

I'm down the street from an elementary school in a semi-rural area. No one hunts here due to the population and even where hunting is allowed it does not seem to keep the deer numbers down much... we also have hunting seasons so most of the year you can't hunt.
Here the large predators were mostly hunted out. Wolves are gone but we do have coyotes but the 3 years I have lived here I have only seen 1 deer killed by them. There are still black bears and cougars but they are very rare and their populations are very low--no where near enough to keep the deer numbers in check.
Statistically the most deadly thing to deer in my area are cars...
