I have never done it, but I know a bunch of folks who have.  Have you ever hit a deer while driving?  It happens a lot and, according to new stats from State Farm, your chances of colliding with a deer increase, greatly, depending on the state in which you live.  Here are the 2016 odds for Kentucky and Indiana!
