Has this got something to do with global warming?

This has to do with the fact that we've killed the deer's natural predators, or reduced their range quite a bit, and the deer have figured out that they're safer near people, because the wolves and coyotes and mountain lions and cougars and catamounts and pumas and lynx and bobcats and bears and sasquatch and all don't like to hit suburbia, because people are rough on them. I believe there are more deer around now that there were in colonial times.
Actually, packs of dogs are a big threat to deer. They'll kill them for fun. But this is less likely in affluent communities that keep a handle on the dog situation.
I'm going to merge this thread back with the main thread, which is getting lonely.
