... studies have shown that a development like the Ridge actually will cause a deer population to increase. A couple of reasons are cited. One is a genetic response to the percieved 'danger'. A doe will normally have twins her first year and single births thereafter. When a population feels threatened, however, some of the does will again produce twins. But it could also be caused by the second reason the population is seen to increase and that is an increase in the amount of food available. Nice landscaped yards and roadways provide an abundance of food. Nice green grass and shrubs. A lot of the homeowners will even over plant with winter rye, which the deer love.

I can't cite sources because it has been several years since I read this. I am sure you can Google it though.
