Each spring the deer in Minnesota produce offspring at a rate of roughly 1.2 times the total

Question:

Each spring the deer in Minnesota produce offspring at a rate of roughly 1.2 times the total population, while approximately 5% of the population dies as a result of predators and natural causes. In the fall hunters are allowed to shoot 3,600 deer. This winter the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates that there are 20,000 deer. Set up an affine iterative equation (10.5) to represent the deer population each subsequent year. Solve the system and find the population in the next 5 years. How many deer in the long term will there be? Using this information, formulate a reasonable policy of how many deer hunting licenses the DNR should allow each fall, assuming one kill per license.
