Live, yes, amid the wild deer! (6)
I believe the answer is:
reside
'live' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'yes amid the wild deer' is the wordplay.
'yes' becomes 'si' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'amid' indicates putting letters inside.
'the wild' indicates an anagram.
'deer' anagrammed gives 'rede'.
'si' placed into 'rede' is 'RESIDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Dwell permanently" , "Stay - desire (anag)" , "Dwell, be present (in)" , "Lodge" , "Live (in a place)" .)
