Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
Between 1907 and 1923, cattle grazing in the Kaibab National forest in Arizona was greatly reduced, deer hunting was eliminated, and predators were killed.

By 1915, the deer were estimated at 25,000; by 1920 at 50,000; and by 1923 at approximately 100,000.
-The initial population of Kaibab deer in 1906 was about 4000. In an area of about 800,000 acres, this works out to an average density of one deer per 200 acres. The density in 1923 is .
