Detailed explanation-1: -With the elimination of a single apex predator like tigers, the deer herd would increase temporarily. But since there were more available deer to preditate upon, soon the population of another apex predator, lions maybe, would increase to fill the void. Thus restoring the balance of holding capacity.
Detailed explanation-2: -If deer are removed from the given food chain, the population of tigers will decrease as they will not have deer for their food and will starve to death. The density of grass will increase as there is no organism to consume it as food.
Detailed explanation-3: -By 2015, the population had stabilized and become more balanced, and has continued remain that way since. According to the 2018-2019 Deer Program Highlights Report published by GA DNR, there were 278, 403 deer harvested by 203, 254 hunters in the 2018-2019 season.
