Wild animals breed to the limit of the food supply and as limited by any predators. So yes, if the deer population gets too large for the food supply, some deer will starve.
There are not many predators left to control deer numbers due to near eradication of wild wolves and mountain lions, but the changing suburban landscape has actually increased the amount of food for deer. Therefore it is the duty of the modern hunter to selectively thin the number of deer for the health and well being of the herd.
