Deer-vehicle collisions
The total number of deer-vehicle collisions in Indiana has increased between 2003 and 2009, an indicator that the state’s deer population may be on the rise. But not all counties have experienced an increase. These numbers, supplied by the Indiana Department of Transportation indicate how the numbers have varied from year to year.
In Indiana
2003: 14,390 2004: 14,898 2005: 14,500 2006: 16, 105 2007: 16,547 2008: 15934 2009: 16, 180
Total number of deer-vehicle collisions from 2003 to 2009: 108,554
In Madison County 2003: 188 2004: 181 2005: 161 2006: 184 2007: 162 2008: 209 2009: 207
I'm trying to find out from INDOT if they track these Deer-vehicle collisions by dates. I'm bettting that they peak during the rut when the deer are the most active.

Looks like 2006 is the level off point. Isn't that the start of our record harvest streak?

Need to balance that out against the number of licensed drivers.
