“Around 1900, there were about 500,000 deer in the U.S. Today, there’s over 20 million, a 40x increase.”
Around 1900 we were slaughtering off all wildlife we could get in our gunsights, driving many species to the brink of extinction.
“Deer kill more Americans every year than any other animal (about 150).”
Interesting way you phrased that. Do they deliberately jump in front of cars so they can kill someone? Or do they actually hunt down people in the woods to kill them?

If you go by my experience, yes, they do wait beside the road and then jump out at precisely the right time to impact cars. They do it to me in my driveway several times a week. I honk at them to mess up their timing.

Wow, you really don't know much about deer. Take a look at the pictures posted to you, I think you'll figure it out.

A co-worker had one jump off a bank beside the highway onto his car. It flipped a couple of times (the auto). I don’t think they were able to determine motive in the attack

A deer IS an omnivore... just sayin’
