Most of the deer strikes here (NC piedmont) seem to happen in the fall. We live on a country road (50 mph+) and occasionally find a dead deer in the front yard. I never actually weighed one but I do use the loader on the tractor to carry them deep into the woods. Personally, I use those deer whistles on my highway cars. Go ahead and laugh but I've never hit a deer.
