"High deer numbers to me are important, they keep hunters interested in the sport, more importantly, children.

Indiana's deer managers have to walk a very tight rope. They are constantly under pressure from insurance companies and the Department of Transportation to reduce the number of car-deer accidents. They get pressure from farm lobbyists to curtail crop damage caused by our state's wild ungulates. The money trail is loud and clear."

Your problem is you wouldn't know deer management from raising a field full of deer. Deer numbers are reduced to keep the numbers in line with the habitat, not because the insurance companies are lobbying Game agencies to reduce deer. Once again, insurance companies do lobby for less deer, they simply raise insurance rates in areas with a higher deer/auto collision numbers and continue on making a profit.
