10,000 bambis a year hit, x what? $3500 damage to each vehicle on
average? That is $35,000,000 a year in damages to vehicles just in MD,
a state not known for deer hunting or big deer.
If there are 20 states at that rate, the damage would be $700 million a
year. I sispect there are more than 200,000 bambi hits a year, plus
this does not include the ones where bambi didn't die, or wandered off
the right of way before croaking. Safe to say that over a billion a
year damage done to vehicles.
Eat more Bambi! Save on insurance!
Lobby your legislature for open season anytime the temp is below 40º at
night.

There's no one place to find the number of deer struck by motorists in
Maryland per year, but administration data show that between January and
October of this year, its workers have responded to 9,800 reports of deer
carcasses on state roads.
Gischlar said the deer that are not composted are either buried or given to
outside rendering companies. *— Savannah Williams, Capital News
