More whitetail deer live in the US right now than ever before. The population has never been greater. This is because of hunters and the money generated by hunters to further research, habitat, and maintain healthy populations. Even with all the deer hunting, some areas still have issues with chronic wasting disease.

Actually it is because in the change in the habitat from mostly unbroken old growth forest to the varied habitat today plus the elimination of most predator species and most competition for vegetation.

That's not to say that hunters didn't help bring back the deer population but the land is able to hold more deer because of the factors listed above.

Not true. Elimination of apex predators has more to do with it than anything.
