Wolves don't generally eat people never mind attack them :P
But Anteitam is surrounded by a town and lots of farmland and I don't think farmers or people living in the town would be too happy with any predators being introduced.
Same goes for most battlfields. Yellowstone was already a place that was wild so releasing wolves wouldn't do much damage but releasing in types of places like Battlefields not a good idea
I don't see Lynx being a big problem because they don't go after humans and it is rare they go after livestock BUT they are not native. And Bobcats are more like Wildcats and not generally deer killers unless its an injured or sick fawn so they won't do owt.
Personally I do support Lynx being released into Scotland though ^^ and ofcourse the reintrodouction of the Scottish/British Wildcat (which their are only 50 left btw) Wildcats can help farmers with pests and Lynx can help keep deer population down win win

The do the same thing at Yorktown and it works great.
I'm sure it is, during the war predators weren't hunted out yet so you would have things like Mountain Lions, Wolves, Bears, etc. to help with population control. Also people hunted much more back then so that would help lower the numbers as well.
Unfortunately a lot of these species were hunted to near extinction and no longer inhabit their historical range. They are starting to recover and are being reintroduced back into their native range but it will take many years to fully recover, if at all.

I suspect that the current deer population is much higher. Back in 1862, you had almost 200,000 men in the area and they needed to eat, (IF they didn't scare the shit out of the local speed beef marching into the fray first,) especially the Confederates needed supplemental food sources.
