Deer hunting is allowed when the population is growing above a certain level. This is an effort to prevent habitat degradation. Excessive hunting would wipe out the deer population, and deer-stalking individuals will become endangered due to lack of food, which endangers other links in the food chain. Habitat of reduced diversity becomes degraded.
