Collisions with People Deer and Moose are not only hunted in the fall but are also killed by drivers in their cars.
Some states allow drivers to keep any deer that they hit and kill with their car.
People have accused drivers of killing deer on purpose. Actually deer-car collisions are also dangerous for the human driver as well. One year in Michigan, car-deer accidents left three people dead and 991 injured. Many deer die each year on the roads especially in the eastern states and provinces where the number of white-tailed deer is high. This was about average for the last 15 years.
