WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE GOING TO HIT A DEER
Slow down, and grasp the steering wheel firmly, with both hands.
Brake hard, without locking the wheels and skidding. Steer straight
and stay in your lane. Do not use extraordinary measures to
avoid the deer. This could put you in greater danger by crossing
lanes into oncoming traffic or by hitting things like telephone
poles.
WHAT
TO DO IN CASE YOU HIT A DEER
If
you hit a deer and cause its death, you may take possession
of the deer, by law, as long as you report the collision to
a game protector or other law enforcement officer. The game
protector or officer will then investigate and issue a certificate
entitling you to the carcass. It is illegal to take a deer carcass
without reporting it.
