Chances of Hitting a Deer
 Study: Oregon drivers have 1 in 323 chance of hitting a deer EUGENE, Ore. - A new study shows that fewer drivers have hit deer in Oregon in the last year. State Farm released a study that shows the number of deer and vehicle collisions has dropped 12 percent in the last year. The U. S. has seen a decline in deer-vehicle collisions with 9 percent less than three years ago and 7 percent less than one year ago. Oregon ranks 35th in states where drivers are likely to hit a deer. According to the study, Oregonians have a 1 in 323 chance of hitting a deer. According to State Farm, the drop is partly because higher gas prices mean fewer drivers on the road. In addition, longer hunting seasons mean fewer deer. But authorities are still advising drivers to be alert with the Oregon's high deer population. "In darkness on roadways, it's recommended to use your bright headlight setting until you meet another vehicle," said Lt. Byron Trapp with the Lane County Sheriff's Office. Lt. Trapp warns drivers that deer often travel in herds. "It's not uncommon at all to have one deer cross the road and then with a pause shortly there after another one or two cross the road," Lt. Trapp said. If a driver encounters a deer, the Sheriff's office says to immediately slow your vehicle and maintain your lane of travel. If you can't stop soon enough, authorities say hitting the deer could be the safe way to go. "Let off the break and maybe even hit the gas, which is supposed to raise the front end of your vehicle," Lt. Trapp said. "Doing this in theory would prevent it from going over the hood and into the windshield." The Sheriff's office said drivers are more likely to hit a deer from dawn to sunrise, and from dusk to midnight. Authorities respond to more deer-vehicle collisions in November than any other month.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count all the people I know who have hit deer while riding.

The hunting season should be all year with no limit. Get McDonalds to sell Bambi Burgers. Then the roads might be safer.

If I'd never felt the sunshine, hell I would not curse the rain If my feet could fit a railroad track, I guess I'd been a train If you waste your time a-talkin' to the people who don't listen, to the things that you are sayin', who do you think's gonna hear. And if you should die explainin' how the things that they complain about, are things they could be changin', who do you think's gonna care?

People are a bigger problem than deer,given a choice I'd much rather cut the dumb ass human population in half.That's why I like riding out West,fewer people,no huge shopping malls and other crap built 15 miles apart from each other.

I'm in the yellow zone, how many per sq. mile does it take to get to orange. I counted 26 in one area about 2 miles from the casa. 6 in the pasture below my house. I don't ride in the early morning hours or at or around dusk. Too many deer they ain't worth going down over. This is just one little area of Smith County. The Federal lake here does not allow hunting only by permit and in some areas no hunting. They are over populated. Read in one of the hunting rags that there are more deer now than before white settlement of this nation. Seems as if the American Indian knew how to keep the population in check. Personally I'd rather have a pork chop than any kind of deer meat. I'm just sayin

Hunting tradition unfortunately is not being passed on to young kids. Don't let them have a gun, guns are scarey. Plus they might not get a deer, and they will find out they are not special. Plus you city folk.
