Each year, Americans hit 1.9 million animals while driving, including deer. In just one year, The Cost of Deer-Related Accidents Rose from $162 to $4,341. Even though the amount of deer-vehicle accidents has continually declined from 2017 to 2018, the cost of those accidents have jumped majorly. These costs are mostly related to the extensive damage a 300-pound full grown buck can cause to a vehicle.
