Deer are related to other herd animals and diseases do pass between them. Ticks and biting flies are a main source of cross-contamination. Also drought can curtail population as food becomes scarce and the deer are weakened to the point they succumb to predators or illness. An increase in predators in the area will also lead to a decrease in the herd population.
