In the UK deer don't roam completey wild like they do in this part of America. They're usually found only on country estates and until recently cultivation of herds was more the norm than culling. Brits don't -in the main- eat them. And they only hunt the inedible Deer are not common roadkill like they are here.

I suggest deer dogs served with cold beer. Maybe a little hedgehog salad on the side.

Ohio is 4th in deer/car collisions. Pennsylvania is first, Michigan and Illinois are second and third. That covers a few of us dwellars.

I see smashy deer all the time on the intrastatez. It's sad.

Whenever we road trip we amuse ourselves by seeing whether we can spot more dead deer or state troopers. It's suprisingly close most of the time. There are a lot of police about when we roadtrip. Who warns them?

That's a lot of deerburger.

I believe that there is a leaf muntjac. And it's probably fully grown. Good eye there sweasel!!

I was shocked to hear Texas was not in the top three. We're still in the top ten, but man. You guys must have a lot of dead deer if we're as low on the list as we are...

We're lousy with deer. Lousy.

It's sad, but there are just so darn many of them.

Yes, we have quite a few here too. I see at least one (alive) pretty much every day that I get in the car. I remember hearing one transplantee to the area talking to another who had more recently moved here "You're going to hit one, probably sooner than later, just relax and get used to the idea".

The only one I've ever hit was hit by the car in front of me first. Jim hit one and killed it, and another just rammed into the side of his car after he stopped for it.

edit: Oh! When i was a kid, my dad brought home a fawn who's mother had been hit and we raised it for while. Didn't end well...

I drive 8 miles on the I94 to the kids' school. Through the outskirts of the city -you know, built up both sides. There's one or two fresh deer corpses pretty much every day. It's a lot more when you leave the city. And they spread a loooong way.

If only they'd ban guns, the problem would go away.
