There are more deer now than any time on record. Biggest problems are lack of predators and poor hunting rules. Stop letting the hunters knock off all the huge bucks which carry the best genes and let them get the overpopulation of doe's.
They have become serious pests across the nation and cause quite a bit of forest destruction as well as things like this.
Glad she is OK. :USA:

Im not sure that there are that many more deer percentage wise. I thnk the biggest problem is our infringement on their home territory.
Im glad your wife is OK.

The deer population is definitely way up over the last 10-15 years or so. Urban sprawl is also contributing to the loss of habitat but probably not the main cause. Alot of what I've noticed in my area is the old farmers that used to say 'Kill em all' are dying off and their trophy-hunting offspring are taking over the acreage. They don't want anybody else that might get lucky and take the buck they are after. In addition to city folk that buy up the acreage and don't understand the necissity of controlling the deer population and think that since they own 10 acres they have say over the whole county. With that a lot of former deer hunters have found better ways to spend time than out chasing those goofy things around, myself included.
I can remember when I first started hunting my freshman year of high school there were hunters everywhere, it was hard to find a section that didn't have people in it. Now (14 years later) we can pretty much hit any woods we have permission to go in, and may only ever come across one or two other groups of hunters all week.

I stopped in at a local check station yesterday, the numbers are way down from last year which were also way down from the year before. In over a third of OH you can kill 6 deer per year but only one buck either as a landowner or all the proper permits. Its been that way as long as I can remember. That should tell you something about what the DNR knows about the herd.

That doesn't look too bad Marc. I did 10 grand damage to my hd crew cab in June when bambi got me. Took out a 300 lb er at 50mph and shoved the front bumper and everything else back about 16 inches.
Glad your wife is unhurt.
I have been told by a pal in state farm that deer strikes are the number one cause of single vehicle accident claims 6 yrs running now.

I am glad Cherie is OK, the same thing happend to my girlfriend two weeks ago on I75 heading to the Flint Airport, she was in an SUV and had over $20,000 worth of damage to her car, the impact even made the airbags go off. It was about 4am and the cop told her it was their third accident that morning. A few hours later one of Ian's coworkers hit another deer in almost the same spot, he was in a big GM truck and it did so much damage to the front end the truck was not driveable.

Glad to hear it wasn't worse. LOTS of accidents in my neck of the woods too. I have become very appreciative of the BIG RED blotches the Michigan DOT has been putting out near Marne, Coopersville, Nunica, Spring Lake, and Fruitport along I96. I assume it's them marking the highways to alert drivers that wildlife may be near....
Seriously, glad it wasn't worse. There are a TON more deer lately in NE Kent County where I am at and they seem to be getting more acclimated to traffic and humans all the time.

I've hit two 6 pt bucks over my 31 years of driving. The first one with a Toyota FourRunner and did $3300 worth of damage. Second one I hit with my Z71 truck and did $6000 worth of damage to the truck. Not to mention how sore I was for two to three days afterwards.
I am on the lookout all the time for deer. Where there's one, there are several.
