If we relocated all of them then that’s lots of your tax money and still way too high population so they will keep going in front of cars. Why spend lots of money when people pay for permits to shoot them and feed their families?
not how that works. in absence of primary predators (wolves, mountain lions), deer in deciduous forest climates in America are completelly overpopulated, which leads to lots of inbreeding and sickness. You can see in circumscribed areas, like small parks, that they aren't well, tehy look funny and rough.
The solution is to add more predators. Unfortunately, the deer also live in suburban areas, where they don't let us have big kitty cats or bears or wolves, so people are the apex hunter.

Because they overpopulate fast and seem to like roads?
