I doubt it will matter. Here in Iowa, where deer are almost a pest, there are maybe 100 per section. There are several families per section, by and large.

A deer can feed a family of four for four days. That's all the calories there are in there. Now, you don't eat just meat. But say, 10% meat. So that's 40 days, that's 9 deer per family per year at least.

That means all the deer will be gone in a few years. If they let hunters shoot them all, which they don't.

I don't think it can matter. Folks have some romantic idea about hunting your own food, but that hasn't been practical for a century by now.
