Nice to know. If you don't fill your tag with your bow you still have a chance.
MILWAUKEE - A person driving on a Wisconsin road has the eighth-best chance in the nation of hitting a deer.
State Farm Insurance says a driver in Wisconsin has a 1 and 116 chance of crashing into a deer. West Virginia is the state where a driver is most likely to hit a deer, with the chances at 1 in 39. Michigan was second with chances calculated at 1 in 78.
In 2008, more than 15,800 deer-vehicle collisions were reported to law enforcement in Wisconsin
So you're telling me there's still a chance

I've hit 5 or 6 deer with my truck on the way to my camp and I hit a huge buck with my motorcycle coming home from my camp. On average, there is a vehicle - wild animal (mostly deer) collision every 38 minutes in Ontario. It's so common, the trucking companies around here installed heavy duty push bars on the front of the tractors and sometimes a trucker is hitting 1 or 2 deer a day. They've stopped reporting them as it wastes too much of their time. But that's not good for the stats. The provincial police equipped their cruisers in the rural areas the same way for the same reason. Deer are the number one cause of single vehicle fatalities in this province. Quite often, people will swerve to miss a deer then smash into a tree or another car. Although I don't have anything to back this up, it's probably safe to say that deer kill more people around here than people do.
