So that people will not hunt the animals to the point of extinction.

An example would be, in 2008, in New Brunswick Canada, 12,882 residents applied for an antlerless tag. 5,000 were issued.

Fish and Game departments issue tags in an attempt to maintain a viable population of animals.

What are 3 limiting factor in a deer population?

Predation by natural predators like wolves or mountain lions can limit the deer population. Availability of food sources, such as browse and vegetation, can restrict the growth of deer populations. Disease outbreaks, such as chronic wasting disease or parasitic infections, can also act as limiting factors on deer populations.


What if there wasn't enough food for the deer could they starve?

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.
