deer population
Woodland ungulate count
Deer population refers to the total number of deer in a given area—a region, forest, or management zone.
The term appears most often in discussions of wildlife management, hunting regulations, and ecological balance: The deer population has doubled since wolves were eliminated.
Overpopulation leads to habitat damage and vehicle collisions; underpopulation concerns conservationists and hunters alike.
