In 2011, Thunder Bay police reported that on average, deer were struck by cars approximately 1.6 times per-day. When you consider the damage that deer can do to a car and the people in them (I was once told a story in North Bay about a guy who got decapitated when he hit a deer, after its antlers came through his windshield), 1.6 collisions per day in a town of 110,000 is a lot of potential tragedy, auto-insurance, or venison—depending on how you look at it.
