Accident risk with deer

If you've been in a car accident with a deer, you're not alone. Many in Iowa have. In fact your odds of hitting one are 1 in 67 according to State Farm's analysis of 2009 and 2010 crash data. That's worse than any other state except West Virginia. Biologists though claim the herds are being kept under control with hunting, and DNR biologist Tom Litchfield said the state's whitetail population has fallen markedly over the past five years. 136,000 deer were harvested last year.
