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.

Does deer scat make good garden fertilizer?
Yes, deer scat makes good garden fertilizer as a deer repellent and as a summer application even though no, it makes poor garden fertilizer because of bacteria, disease and winter deprivations. Deer scat may harbor chronic wasting disease and Escherichia coli and offer higher nutrient levels in summer and lower in winter. Hot composting processes of mixing and turning air, carbon, nitrogen and water to generate heat to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) for at least five days and composting for at least 40 days will eliminate E. coli even though neither heat nor time terminates the disease.
Can you ship deer meat overseas?
Shipping deer meat overseas is subject to strict regulations and restrictions, as it is considered a perishable food item. Many countries have specific import regulations to prevent the spread of diseases, such as chronic wasting disease. It’s essential to check both the exporting and importing country's laws regarding wildlife and meat products before attempting to ship deer meat. Additionally, proper packaging and labeling are crucial to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.
How is this mad cow disease similar to chronic wasting disease that occurs in deer and elk?
Both diseases are caused by a prion (infectious misfolded protein) that affect the Central Nervous System (the brain and spinal cord). The incubation period of this prion is drawn out over a period of 10 years, and the end result of this disease leads to dysfunction of the CNS causing irregular mobility, attitude changes and eventually death. BSE (the proper term for "Mad Cow Disease") and CWD are neither incurable nor treatable.
