Not nessecarily; deer are also prey to other predators of the wild, such as cougars, coyotes, and mountain lions, not to mention ourselves, as many of us hunt for meat and sport. Also, without predators picking off the weaker ones, the deer population would increase tremendously, along with the same genetics mixing more, resulting in deformities. The wolves do, yes, hunt, kill, and feed on the deer, but mainly stick to the weaker ones, such as ones hindered by injuries, age, deformities, fatigue, etc.

Why is the beaver population in yoho national park declining?

Without a healthy population of wolves, elk and deer (and other deer species) habitually graze on aspen, willow, and cottonwood sprouts, preventing young trees from growing into mature trees. This essentially starves the beavers, causing them to either die off, or go elsewhere. It's all part of the trophic cascade.
