Deer are a deadly and costly driving hazard on Wisconsin highways.
Last year there were over 42,000 officially reported deer vehicle collisions in Wisconsin. A recent study puts the number of collisions as high as 88,000 in 1998. In 1999, these accidents resulted in three deaths and more than 800 injuries. About 40 percent of those accidents occurred in October and November, when deer are most active. Use your high-beam headlights, which reflect in the deer's eyes, to see the deer better.
