Deer have become a nuisance around here too. When I was a teen many years ago, a garden could be grown in the open. Now, every desirable planting has to be fenced, even yard flowers and shrubs. It's expensive and a hassle having too many deer. The hunting pressure has dropped in my opinion. I used to hunt them, but tired of venison. There are fresh deer tracks all-around my pond every morning. We need a couple of years of six month deer season, no limits.
