That's just plain mean.
Fresh road kill venison market?
Drivers in Hawaii face the lowest odds of striking a deer – just 1-in-10,281.
oh deer!
I’ve taken 3 Michigan deer on my driver’s license.
I guess the Buck stops there.
I came back from a gig in central KY last summer at midnight to my home 40 miles away and counted the deer near or on the road. In groups of 2 to 5, they numbered 37. I had to brake for some but I’ve not hit a deer in the three years I’ve been here, and I’ve come within inches of a couple.
I do a LOT of night and dusk driving. And I don’t text.
‘Do not rely on devices such as deer whistles.’
A friend swears by them. I’ve never hit a deer so they must work. But I’ve seen deer do really stupid things. Do they even have a brain?

Would Laz hit a deer?
He and his wife were out riding one fall day on one of our major roads.
A buck leaped on the back of his wife and took her down. She spent three weeks in a hospital and another year recovering.
The buck fared even worse. It limped off into another lane of traffic and was mortally wounded by a collision with truck going the other direction. The PHP man called to the scene had to shoot it.
Car/deer accidents are so common here that police seldom bother to show up and insurance companies just say to email them a picture of the damage.
I’ve hit 3 deer and a cop only showed up one time. He didn’t even get out of his car.
Hint: The #1 state is right next door to us. And, no, it ain't New York which has more drivers than we do.
Actually I am a member of the “I hit a deer” club. Driving along Pacific Coast Highway on my way to work in Malibu.
A long time ago.
I've got an elephant whistle on the front of my car....haven't hit one yet.
Kangaroo is not bad. I had a kangaroo burger in a Aussie themed restaurant in the Netherlands. Tasted like cow + Worcestershire sauce.
After I ate it, I called my wife and daughters back in the states. During the conversation, I told them what I had. They said “Awwww, but daddy, we like Kangaroos.” I told them so did I, they are tasty.
At one point I hit four different deer in a five year span. I occasionally had to creep through herds of deer. Where I used to live and commute to work, every evening (I worked the night shift) was a “where are the deer?” experience.
I have a gigantic steel bumper and brush guard on the front of my Chevy 4x4 PU, and I stopped counting long, long ago.
