In many places, the decline in hunting, and the absence of natural predators like wolves and cougars is leading to deer populations expanding out of control. This is BAD, since such overpopulation can lead to the deer population devastating feed vegetation leading to mass starvation.

This can be addressed by re-introducing predator species in remote areas, but in more populated areas, hunting is really the only way to deal with it.
