Deer populations have undergone significant increases over the last decades. This combined with the increase in the number of vehicles on the road leads to increasing DVA rates in many states.
That said, it must also be added that over half of all DVAs year-round occur during the months of November and December. In other words, during the deer hunting season! Coincidence? How about the fact that the highest daily DVA rates occur on the first day of the deer hunting season? Deer are usually very prudent in entering open spaces, such as a field or a roadway. But when hunting starts, the deer are spooked by the sudden presence of hunters in the woods, causing them to flee from the forests into traffic.
How ironic that deer hunting is hailed as a deer population reduction measure when hunting has wiped out the deers natural predators, has caused higher fawn births, and has caused higher DVAs. The game agencies send press releases putting the blame on deer overpopulation, and call for more hunting as a deer population control measure! All that - and we havent yet mentioned the Compensatory Rebound Effect. That is the phenomenon of higher births following a sudden reduction in the population.
Why do states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, PA, GA and TX which have the most hunters also have the most deer? Why have deer populations in these as well as other heavily hunted states steadily risen in the past three or four decades? More importantly, what are the environmental consequences of high deer populations?

Deer Crashes Rise in NC

"Yet 50 percent of all deer-related crashes in North Carolina occurred during the months of October, November and December. Deer are particularly restless and agitated during these months due to both mating season and hunting season."
"Research is conclusive that deer have no impact on Lyme Disease, AND in the eight years of the Townships deer management program — approaching $300,000 — auto-deer collisions are as high as in years prior to deer removal! "
With a lot of hunters in the woods, they will push deer out of wooded areas, making them run across the road, Missouri Department of Conservation Agent Dan Akin said.
From: Peaceful Parks Coalition April 25, 2005, Toronto: An Ontario Ministry of Transportation report released last year cites deer hunting as a major cause of car collisions in Ontario. The report states that 'in Ontario, higher numbers of animal-vehicle collisions were found to occur in October-December. This could be attributed to fall hunting seasons (Sept.20-Dec15), where people chase and force animals into rights of way. When animals are being shot at, they run and may venture onto highways.' The report also confirms that most wild animal collisions occur during early morning (5am-7am) or after sunset (5pm-11pm). Deer hunting is permitted one half hour before sunrise and one half hour after sunset.

Deer/Car Collision
The Erie Insurane Group, PA's second largest auto insurer, studied the effect that hunting has on car/deer collisions. They discovered that not only did accidents increase during hunting season but they increased by five times on the opening day of doe and buck season.
