I have hit deer more ways than most people can dream of. I live in Wisconsin which has more deer per mile than most places.(Check a deer density map, Most of WI is shown in red, meaning a lot of deer.) I commuted about 100 miles per day when I worked. i have hit deer with Toyota pickup, Chevy Astro, Hyundai Accent, Kia, Honda Nighthawk motorcycle, Honda Goldwing motorcycle, garden tractor (I was mowing the yard and a deer was laying down in my wifes raspberry patch and it jumped up and ran into me) a deer ran into me while I was riding bicycle, I was coasting down a trail at night on my cross country skis and a deer ran into me.
Road kill that isn't hit bad is pretty tasty. Many of them have a broken neck and when you butcher them, you can't find any damage. My kids ate several road kill deer when they were young. I still feed some families with deer that I pick up. In Sauk County where I live, we just all the sheriff and inform them of a deer carcass, and they tell us that we can take them. No tags needed. there is a 10 mile stretch of county road near me that gets about 4 deer kills a week according to the sheriff. By the way, we pay a 10% insurance penalty on our comprehensive overage.
