I don't know if this is the case in all states but in Utah if you kill a 
deer or other big game animal with your car on the road you have to 
pay the state the value of the animal which is around US$1000.

We don't have elk or kangaroos, just white-tailed deer, which are
relatively light, usually under 150 lbs.  But their fast gait is a leap:
when a deer leaps out of a ditch into the side or onto the hood of a 
car,
it's not unknown for the car to be totalled when the driver loses 
control.
Car-deer accidents having been going up as more people move into 
rural
Michigan, over a 1000 a year in our county.
