That one is easy, they starve or another predator emerges.
I'm from Portland, Maine and several of the islands in the bay have problems
with deer. In recent times every couple years they have a limited archery hunt
to reduce population.
Its interesting how greenie weenies will line up to have you sit on their back
porch and bag the garden destroyers...

I have wanted to mention something, but not until now has the subject
come close enough to what I want to metion:
We live on an island here in WA. I am wondering how animals on an
island avoid the problems that come with a limited gene pool. I mean,
I don't picture any deer swimming across the sound to diversify the
gene pool.
Also, I can add to the discussion of an over protection of animals
leading to their overpopulation, etc. I don't think there is hunting
allowed here, and there are deer everywhere, even in town.
Significantly greater risk of hitting one with one's car than there
was in MN, and I thought I was getting away from that risk in moving
here.
And when the wife and I drove up to the Olympic mountain range and
visited Hurricane Ridge, there were deer that were very calmly walking
around and grazing right up to the edge of the parking lot, and
walking across it with impunity.
One wonders what will keep the population from getting out of hand.
