There could be some validity to the learning angle. Think about it, how many P&Y bucks end up road kill? And when they do, what time of year is it? The rut, when they are more concerned with getting tail than taillights.If thethread about hitting deerwould have included how old the deer was, buck/doe then we might have a betteridea. Every collision I've been a part of was a young deer.

Then again, there's the numbers game that GMATT mentioned as well, not many P&Y deer, not many killed by car.
