A Home Where the Beefalo Roam

Nope.

White tail deer are the biggest wildlife management failure in our history. Thanks to hunters, they were just about wiped out. Now, thanks to managing to increase browse, they have more fawns, no natural predators and they've become vermin. And, thanks to hunters, they're victims to CWD and other diseases.

CWD is a result of not thinning, not overhunting. CWD transmits much more readily in overpopulated herds.

there are so many deer, why do the feds pay deer farms to raise and release more?

Why do feds do 90% of what they do.

The conversion of land adjacent to the northern Rockies into agriculture use and partial clear-cutting of coniferous trees (resulting in widespread deciduous vegetation) has been favorable to the white-tailed deer and has pushed its distribution to as far north as Prince George, British Columbia. Populations of deer around the Great Lakes have also expanded their range northwards, due to conversion of land to agricultural uses favoring more deciduous vegetation, and local caribou and moose populations. The westernmost population of the species, known as the Columbian white-tailed deer, once was widespread in the mixed forests along the Willamette and Cowlitz River valleys of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, but today its numbers have been considerably reduced, and it is classified as near-threatened.
