They need to check out Alberta and Manitoba, I'm guessing the numbers are closer to 5-6/day, during peak seasons.

Hitting a dear is nothing. You guys should see the mess when someone hits a moose, which happens a lot around here. It is rare that anyone survives it. Usually cuts the top of the car off, along with the top half of everyone in the vehicle.

I had a friend in college... lived in NH or something... went home and came back with a new car... Hit a moose in his lifted, 3/4 ton Dodge Ram... Not much was left... he was lucky he hit it on the passenger side and was driving alone...

Its the length of their legs and massive bodies. When you hit them, they topple over the top, taking everything with them.

The one I shot this moose season was 600lbs of meat. Thats close to 1200lbs live, and he was a medium sized bull.

It's actually 1 reported deer collision for every 48 lisenced drivers. Pretty dumb way of doing it, but that's all they had.
