urban-deer

That's only for the city, which is a small area compared to the rest of 
the county. Other than projections from the deer harvest nobody has tried 
to count the non-urban deer. 

They have adapted quite well. Someone posted a video on the local 
subreddit of a small family politely crossing on a cross walk. They also 
eliminate the need for expensive lawn ornaments. 

Obviously I don't have first hand knowledge of roos but from the little I 
know they would be more chaotic in an urban environment.

Then there are the bears. Some areas of the city are very strict about 
garbage, pet food, and leaving fruit on the trees lest you wind up with a 
resident bear. The rural bears tend to make a living in a more traditional 
fashion than the city slickers.
