Yes, Glen and Marcus.  Very interesting. 

But, "Do animals psychologize?"

"Even in your example, we might notice that even though there are N licenses
doled out, the deer population continues to rise.  It would be
over-intervention to simply issue more licenses. Perhaps the people getting
the licenses are mostly an aging population who don't hunt much anymore but
have some semi-automated approach to getting a license?"

A population estimation input comes from tagging stations relative to issued
licenses by category of deer, so they can & do close-the-loop by way of
enforcement.  
The population estimation techniques require some assumptions, of course.
