The "Bambi" complex has lead to serious problems in several
suburban areas, especially in the Eastern half of the USA.

"Bambi" has no natural predators in the Eastern USA thus they have
multiplied like rats.

Here in the West, we have mountain lions.

Parklands in the cities have been over run and have become a real
problem.

Farmers OTOH, can get a little relief by opening their lands to
hunters.

Know a couple farmers in Michigan who would be happy if the hunters
shot ALL the "Bambis" on their farms.

we (farmers and ranchers) also have the out clause that allows us to
'drop them on site' year round if they are endangering livestock. Yep,
deer endanger my live stock by knocking down fences. So away they go.
