Of course there would be plenty of food sources for all species if there weren’t so many of the human kind moving into their habitats.

BZZZZZZZZT - Wrong answer.

There are so many deer because people have killed off or driven away their natural predators - including people !

Indians and settlers ate them. So did cougars, coyotes, wolves, bear, etc.

Flown across the country lately ? The vast majority of it is "habitat" for gazillions of animules. People occupy a tiny portion of the land.

This is an ignorant statement. It is obvious you don't live anywhere near any growing deer populations. If you did, and had any sense, you would immediately discern that human development creates and enhances deer habitat. We do not move into their domain. They move into ours because we make it attractive to them.

In language made simple for you, parklands near urban areas, and suburban landscaping, are a deer candy store unlike any paradise they ever encounter in the wild.

Plus, we have done them the favor of removing natural predators like wolves and coyotes. Sorry Junior, human development is the greatest gift God ever gave the deer population.
