Possum Kingdom Lake State Park, about 75 or so miles West of Fort Worth, had a thriving, actually huge, deer herd. No hunting in those days on State lands. And then one of our normal, long term, droughts hit. Emaciated herds were the norm. You could walk around and find quite a few corpses. People were feeding corn and hay. They ate it but didn't get the right nutrition. This was about 50+ years ago before wildlife management emerged.
Not a lot different that a pond that doesn't get proper management.
