Not where I live where hunting seasons actually make sense. It's definitely a problem in some places though. And deer weren't really related to my point which is that the bigger gray wolves reintroduced in the northern rockies had specialized into hunting larger game like moose and elk where the smaller red wolves and plains gray wolves that were more predominant here in the past killed deer etc and didn't harass the elk, moose, and livestock to the same degree.
Where I live in Texas the hunting season doesn't even put a dent on the White Tailed Deer and the coyotes are not much bigger than the foxes.
We have herds in front yards. There was a mention of a Mountain lion living in the area for the giant buffet and people's first fucking reaction was how fast they could fucking find and kill the thing.
Sounds like some large predator action would be helpful there. Or a state-level program to cull the deer like some states do with feral hogs.
