W. Virginia tops in Deer Vehicle Accident yet hunters wants to help reproduce deer.

From time to time I visit website from Game Commission or State Agencies when I read about their deer vehicle accidents statistics which led me to W. Virginia and I read about how hunters can "plant food plots". Deer Vehicle accident are very high in W. Virginia so why would they be trying to "reproduce" more deer? The reason is hunting and if you have hunting its a sure bet they will always be problems associated with deer because deer is always needed for recreational hunters and the revenue for the wildlife killing industry.

Human Fatality in DVA is Murder One "Over 1.5 million deer/vehicle crashes occur per year in the U.S., causing over $1.1 billion in vehicle damage, more than 29,000 human injuries and 150 deaths." Statistics may be boring, but they are consistent. It dictates that given 30 million deer roaming across the land, and given 3-trillion vehicle-miles per year on American highways, and, not least of all, given a hunting reason entertaining 1.5 million hunters in Pennsylvania alone, and 15 million across the land, which causes deer to blindly dash out of forests into the path of speeding vehicles in evasion of the lethal human intruders the hunters, there WILL be about 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) or deer-vehicle accidents (DVAs), which WILL cost about 1.5 million deer lives and about 150 human lives, plus about 30,000 human injuries. According to hunting sources, there were originally about 30 million white-tailed deer in America. History went through a period of unregulated "market hunting", which decimated the deer population to some 300,000 nation-wide, and zero in certain states including Indiana. Since then, the deer population had rebounded back to its original number of about 30 million, but in a much reduced area, due to human occupation of their previous range, including vast tracks of farm land that used to the deer habitat. This creates an over-population density situation, which causes ecological damage as well as human deaths.
