It is a criticism of many population ecologists that the pattern of population increase and subsequent crash of the deer population would have occurred even if the bounty had not been placed on the predators.
In my science class we are supposed to say whether or not we agree with the sentence above. One problem, what does it mean? I dont get it.
Even if people did not hunt the animals that hunted deer, the deer population would still decline after increasing.
I'd recommend you agree with it because it's true. Even if deers don't have predators, their population will still drop after increasing because of the environments limiting factors. You could argue however that the decline of the deer population will be delayed and the increase will increase more if there were no predators.

Thanks and there are predators, wolves. Thanks though, I'm going to mention that.
