ajohunter Report post Posted May 14, 2014 I hit a 4x4 mule deer on the 238 outside of Gila Bend in 2003. Almost totaled my truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Memac63 Report post Posted May 14, 2014 While I did take out a doe many years ago topping a rise on 83 halfway to Sonoita, that barely missed herd of elk crossing 180 one night North of Flagstaff was a lot scarier. I've seen several elk lying dead on the shoulders of I-40 too. I bet we are a lot higher on the elk roadkill scale. As often as I've heard about New York deer getting hit I'm surprised they're not high risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siwash Report post Posted May 14, 2014 Numbers make sense to me. Our herd numbers pale in comparison to many states, and the size of our state is massive in relation to many others making the chance of a collision that much more unlikely, especially since our largest metropolitan area, Phoenix, offers less than ideal habitat for deer.

metau Report post Posted May 15, 2014 When I lived in CO, I would see 3-5 fresh ones every morning driving the 25+ miles home from work. In the 2 months since I started working here in GA, I've seen 4 happen to the vehicle in front of me and about 3 fresh ones a week, and it is maybe a 15 mile commute.
