Due to hunting for food and pelt, as well as hunting for sport; certain deer like the black musk deer, key deer and caribou (a species of deer) are endangered.
Other reasons including being hit by cars and in some cases being driven from their homes and starving in new surroundings have driven species like the key deer to just 300-800 members left.
The caribou or reindeer, as a species, is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
Although some races are in some trouble, and at least one has gone extinct, the caribou as a species remains fairly numerous and not listed as an endangered species.

∙ 11y agoBecause deer are a very destructive animal they tear up stuff, and that's why deer are meant to be in the wood or on a deer farm.
It is the same for all wild animal, when they have plenty of food, water and cover they are not a problem, they will stay in a small area. But when they do not have enough food or water they will travel long distances to find it. When this happens they eat what is easy to get. Like for instance, farm crops, flowers at your home etc... Also in their search for food they will sometime frequent the road ways. During the winter months the road ways are planted to prevent erosion and they prevent hazards to automobiles.
