RE: ALL Illinois Deer Hunters PLEASE......
Car/deer accidents....
More drivers on the road, more deer collisions there will be, one doesn't mean the other.
It's similar to when you put more cops on the streets, crime goes up? because more crime is caught/reported etc...
There was always the same amount of crime, just more reported.
But I'm not sure what time period they're talking about, past 5 years? past 10? past 100years? certainly there are more deer collisions today then even 30 years ago, when there were far less people around.
My dad spoke to a woman who had hit 5 deer! Everyone close around me has never hit a deer. Then again being a hunter, I think I look for deer, notice them more than most drivers, ie non hunters, as well, I know when/where to look for them.
