What kind of idiot would fence in 20,000 acres with deer on it? Of course fencing in the deer and fencing out the natural predators will result in too many deer -- and that is a human-created problem. Saying that humans screwed up the system (by removing predators and by installing fences) and then need to fix the problem (too many deer) is ridiculous. Take away the fence and bring back the natural predators.
