Are there more deer in the US now than were 1900?

Yes, there are more deer in the US now than there were in 1900. The white-tailed deer population in the US was estimated to be around 500,000 in 1900, while today it is estimated to be around 30 million. This increase is due to a number of factors, including the eradication of wolves and other predators, the creation of new habitats for deer, and the availability of food sources such as soybeans and corn.
