I see 3-4 per day dead on the road. The last count estimates 1.3 to 1.8 million deer in the state, second only to Texas. And WI is a heck of a lot smaller than Texas. Now they're worried about cronic wasting disease which affects the brain, similar to mad cow disease. The DNR is planning to shoot 15,000 in the area that it has been discovered.

OUCH!!!

I'm sure if I did the really rural routes more often I would be seeing more - but I spend so much time in and out of town that I don't see it as often.

My personal opinion - let the hunters and farmers take them out.

We have several different groups that take the unwanted kill for the various shelters, soupkitchens and pantries - none of it would go to waste the way road kill does - especially in this kind of weather.
