The peak population for deer in a specific area can vary widely depending on factors such as the species, habitat, and ecological conditions. Typically, deer populations can reach their peak in the absence of natural disturbances like predation, disease, or significant environmental changes. For instance, in some regions, deer populations might peak in the thousands before a disturbance occurs. To provide an accurate number, specific data about the deer species and location in question would be needed.
Deer culling is only done if there is a huge population of deer, a population that threatens natural vegetation and habitat because there are too many mouths to feed that a natural environment can hold or tolerate. When this occurs, hunters are allowed to shoot a certain number of deer, or enough so that the population is diminished enough that they are considered under control.
Yes. In 1989, there was a deer which was unable to escape its predator. It died before it got to reproduce. Any unique heritable traits that it might have had were therfore selected out of the population.
Approximately 800,000 according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Source: http://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/deer/2005DeerAntlerRecords.html
The deer population has grown tremendously.

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.
Yes, the roe deer is present in Gibraltar. It was introduced in the 20th century and can be found in the natural reserves and wooded areas of the region. The population is relatively small, but they have adapted to the local environment.

Red Deer, AB, Canada had a 2011 population of 90,564 residents.
If mountain lions are removed from a natural park type of setting, and we are assuming that the lions are the sole predator of the deer in the area, then what you would see is an increase in the deer population. As long as there are enough resources in the park setting (food, water, space, mates, etc.,) then the population will continue to rise until they begin to run out of resources. The deer will probably rather quickly overpopulate the area, and will strip the park of the resources that they need to survive, so the population will crash. Most likely the park service that manages the area will allow some hunting of the deer in order to control the population. This is actually a very common practice since the natural predators of deer are not too common in most parts of the US at least, and so hunting of the deer is allowed to keep them from overpopulating and starving to death.
that depends on the type of deer theres the regular white tail deer,sika deer, red deer ect.
Fast running deer are more frequently found in a population due to natural selection, as their speed helps them evade predators more effectively. This increased survival rate allows them to reproduce and pass on their genes, leading to a higher prevalence of fast runners in the population over generations. Additionally, fast deer can access a wider range of habitats and resources, further enhancing their chances of survival and reproduction.
