If you don't hear from me for a while I might be in jail over in Idaho

If you still had wolves or even enough coyotes in Pennsylvania you wouldn't be overrun with deer. Due to a lack of predators, that population is off in many places, with potentially devastating results to the ecosystem. The example you gave is a good reason to focus on wolf re-establisment (maybe coyotes over there.) Did you you know that at Yellowstone when there were no wolves, the elk and other grazers were destorying the riparian environment, which means destruction to the streams and a lot of the wildlife it supports. Now that elk are nervous due to the presence of the wolf, they don't stay too long in one spot, and the ecosystem is recovering: beavers are back, and so are long lost species of butterflies, just to name a few changes.

And let's tell the rest of that deer story:
