The PRO of the Irish Deer Commission has said a census of deer numbers is needed.
Damien Hannigan was speaking after a woman was hospitalised as a result of a deer attack in Glencar near Killorglin on Saturday.
Mr Hannigan said while an incident like this is extremely rare, it's important for people to maintain a distance of at least 50 metres from wild deer as they are highly unpredictable.
He said that, on average, 8,000 deer are culled a year and that level should be maintained.
Mr Hannigan added that, under no circumstances, should people feed a wild deer.
Local councillor Michael Cahill, who knows the woman injured in the attack, says the increasing number of deer in Kerry is a problem.
Mr Cahill says further culling is required to prevent future attacks and the spreading of ticks.
