I agree the disease is more frequent in mice, squirrels and small game than deer and you can't wipe them all out. It's transmitted mainly by the black legged tick that's what needs to be controlled. If the deer have lime disease you can't get it from eating them and they can only pass it along at birth no other way to pass it on except ticks.

If there is over population then that's a different matter but increased deer hunting based solely on the control of lyme disease is ridiculous IMO.
