I don't want needless suffering, just fast quick deaths, but no more from their suicides in front of my car. I had a good car. Loved it. But some big old punk deer wanted to kill itself just to destroy my car.
They've been trying to get me for a long time. Punk ass deer! Anybody likes a live deer is not my friend. Anybody who likes a dead deer might be my friend.
The only good deer is a dead deer that isn't in the road.

Anybody who likes a dead deer might be my friend. The only good deer is a dead deer that isn't in the road. I suspect most of the problem is the difference in the way deer and cars move. Deer spring, cars glide. The gliding car confuses the deer. Try to see it from the perspective of the deer. It is thinking, "If those cars would just spring like normal deer, we could guess where they're going and when they'll get there. But this?" Be careful. Don't try to mimic springing with your car. Cars can neither accelerate nor decelerate as quickly as deer can.

Aw. Sorry about your car, but I love deer. I've raised 2 fawns, a white tail and a mule deer. The muley was the best pet I've ever had. She was so smart and observant, and very headstrong. She was quite a character. I have dozens of stories about her.
I've never hit a deer. I just scan the roadside for their eyes reflecting the headlights and stay alert.

Cars can neither accelerate nor decelerate as quickly as deer can. In combination with the fact that cars are moving away or towards, they will have difficulty gauging how much distance is safe. Also at night, when all they see are the lights, they're not going to automatically associate that with a big, physical object. Even in daytime, though, they seem to wait until the last possible moment to leap across. I think they realise that they're running out of time if they want to cross the road, but not bright enough to realise they can simply wait until the car has passed - that would require planning.

Dodge made a car called the "Dart" (discontinued) that couldn't mimic deer springing either. Deer have a good top speed, but another advantage they have is the ability to reach that speed in a very short time (accelerate), and to suddenly change direction (decelerate) that takes as much force as acceleration.

What if cats were causing more accidents involving vehicles?
Should all cats die?
Deer (and cats) are living, sentient beings that are part of the ecosystem here on Planet Earth. We humans are not the only species, nor are we the most important. This is all one big world, we are all a part of it.
Maybe you will now be more aware when you are driving, save a life and not wreck your car. It could have been operator error, you know. Why do you think it was the deer's fault? Maybe your car brake system was faulty, or your steering system was not operating as it should. Or you were talking or texting.
I have lived in rural mid-America for 40 years, and when I drive at night, I am always aware of the terrain around me, and what might be hiding in the bushes. I have stopped for deer, raccoons, opossums, turtles, cats, dogs, rabbits and snakes. Oh, and squirrels who seem intent on committing suicide.
On my now-retired Toyota, which has 425,000 miles on it, there is a bumper sticker - "I Brake for Animals."

Now, they put these cruise controls in off the wall places that you can't find, and when you look up, Bam, not to mention other drivers in their big vehicles who block your view. I wouldn't really kill a deer on purpose, and you know it, creep. You just love to lash out with hatred at anything you think it's safe to hate. Just cause you got evil angels helping you and protecting you. You take your superior feeling punk ass over here with all your superior feeling punk friends and see how long any of you last in the ring with me. I'm waiting. I'm right here. I'm right here. Waiting. Where are you geeks? I'm waiting. Ah, that's what I thought.

Instead of trying to be a bunch of violent primitives, by "Killing All Deer"... Maybe, we should should try using our human intelligence, if any of us have some, instead... and be more creative, like building MORE "wildlife overpasses", so animals won't continue to run out into the road and damage our cars...

Wow... It's incredibly quite mind-boggling, how people were more educated, smarter, and more creative 25 years ago ( BEFORE THE INTERNET)... My grandparents lived in the mountains of North Carolina over 25 years ago, and Deer Horn/Whistle/Sonic devices were quite popular at the time. I saw many cars with them installed. Not sure how well they work, but... At least people were trying different ways to keep from having car accidents with deer... and some tried to come up with ideas, LIKE: building "wildlife overpasses"... And now? We have the internet, with all this deer "avoidance technology" knowledge from all over the world instantly available to us with a flick of a switch and a simple 5 minute Google search... And yet, somehow, people just think "Killing All Deer" is the only solution that possibly exists...

You know something? I figure the ironic thing about deer in traffic is that when they finally lose out the genes of "freezing in headlights" in natural selection, that the first world will, in that century or so, have figured out a better mode of transportation than motor vehicles, and the deer would have naturally selected for road survival, but for no reason at all, because motor vehicles will be obsolete for whatever form of transportation is used in the future. Sadly ironic. The laws of Nature were sure made by the enemy, not by the good God.

My Mom used those for many years, and she hit so many deer that she earned herself the nickname "The Deer Slayer". She finally realized that she needed to reduce her speed (especially at dusk), and stay alert.
