Final answer:

Density-independent factors like hunting of male deer do not affect population size, unlike birth rates and new members joining a herd.


Explanation:

Density-independent factors do not depend on population size and include weather, natural disasters, and pollution, affecting mortality regardless of density. For deer populations, the number of male deer hunted and killed would not impact the population size as it is a density-independent factor. In contrast, factors like the number of fawns born or the number of new deer joining the herd would affect population size.
