Worst 10 States For Auto-Deer Collisions.
Pennsylvania ranks first among the top ten worst states for vehicle-deer collisions, according to a State Farm insurance survey published Thursday. The article goes on to say to avoid collision with a deer, keep your headlights on bright as often as possible to see deer close to the road. One other report I read once said NOT to use your highbeams because the deer are attracted to the bright lights. I'm surprised North Carolina's not on the list. I see deer by the highway and interstates often, especially near the Biltmore Estate. I had the misfortune of colliding with a deer one evening after midnight coming home from work. My car was demolished, but I was miracuously able to drive the rest of the way home. But the weird thing is I never did see the deer until after the accident.

wow. I'm also surprised not to see South Dakota, either. But, then again, we only have two freeways/interstates and the deer have lots of room to roam beyond highways. But, everyone I know has a story about car meets deer.
