I swear I've had more close calls in the last few years, including one where Bambi literally stopped in front of me on the road and challenged me to a staring contest.

Well, we do keep taking away their homey woodlands and fields

Yes, but doing so also drives away the natural predators of deer and allows their population to grow unchecked. This is bad for other herbivores that compete with deer for food, bad for us in terms of dangers on our roadways and spread of disease, and bad for the deer who may encounter painful death.
Keeping balance in their population is important, as is keeping their species in healthy numbers. Hunting does serve a necessary purpose with deer, especially in developing areas.

No argument there. We've removed their homes, their predators, their competitors. Stewardship demands we step up.

Fewer and fewer people hunt. With less pressure and kills the population will grow

Sounds exactly like my experiences so far, well in addition to hitting one. Not Bambi of course.
