Going up highway 61 yesterday didn’t see that many deer hit by vehicles. Other year this part of the rut seems like about one per mile. Don’t think population has changed that much. You all seeing the same as other years.

I-70 had a ton of dead deer from day to day the last 2-3 weeks. But I did notice them being picked up more than in the past for some reason . But then others rotted away in the median. Hard to say. I know I’ve seen a bunch here locally in SoCo the last week.

No. I’m seeing more than the normal amount. They’re literally everywhere.

Looked like Gettysburg battlefield on my way up on the 5th

Couple weeks ago there were loads of road kills

 

[beardsNspurs78]

Yeah they’re everywhere. New splatters every night on 61

I’ve been seeing a lot. I think MODOT or maybe someone else is actually picking them up this year because I have also seen a lot more road crews scraping them up. Maybe people are complaining more.

 

[callaojoe]

Yeps lotsa dead ones.

From the last week of October to late last week there has been a few but not many on my way to hunt. From Friday to last night there was a significant amount more and even last night I seen more deer standing in the road than weeks prior.

Nope not even close to as many as last year. I drive 150 to 200 mile daily in morgan and benton counties and havent seen near as many. Not that I'm complaining when I drive that much just that I've noticed a huge drop off from past years

I haven't in my body shop had as many deer hits as I have in 19 and 20. But the amount of other collision is really busy. 2019 was unreal with deer collision, more than ever. I knew that year when the peak of the rut hit. My small shop picked up that year 12-13 in three days and couple were totaled . Probably did around 80 deer hits that year plus other collision.

Your post is good indicator for this subject. Your shop in Lincoln county? Also think the state has been pretty quick at picking up hit deer this year.

Yes Lincoln County. Silex address, but west of Silex towards Olney if you know where that is. Rural

 

[Jagermeister]

drive to Linn from Jeff City and back. 20 miles. You'll see about 10

 

[NoLuck]

Drive from Scott City to Festus and you’ll see about 100 dead deer. Maybe they’re just not cleaning them up as much?? Don’t know, but I also saw a ton of deer in fields last week and this Monday. More than anywhere I’ve seen in the other parts of the state.

 

[callaojoe]

Crossbows are taking their toll, and killing the deer before the cars can get it done.

I drove from Bland to Hermann to Chamois to Linn to Mt Sterling and back to Bland between 7am and 10:30am this morning and only noticed one or two road kills and only saw two deer (couple does feeding along side of road at 9am). That's a pretty good little jaunt to only see 1 or 2 road kill.

They really should move the deer crossing signs to solve this issue.
