From a "Professional Journalist" Leigh Glangreco, Special to the Washington Examiner. Ms Glangreco reports that "According to a study by State Farm Insurance Co, 1 in every 109.9 drivers in Virginia ... has a chance of hitting a deer."
No. That is not how probability works.
EVERY driver in Virginia has a chance of hitting a deer and the size of that chance is 1 in 109.9.
It is a shame that journalism school doesn't really teach anything and professional journalists don't understand how ignorant they are so they never bother to ask for help with their homework.
Point 2. Not enough consumin' goin' on out there. I hear that deer is a tasty alternative to beef and chicken and is almost free for the taking. There is no excuse for deer to be wandering around being hit by cars when there are perfectly good .308 soft point bullets they could be colliding with.

How about the stupid journalist who said that gold was not backed by anything, which is why its price fell last week, as opposed to something like the dollar, which is backed by the U.S. govt?
I hear firewood isn't backed by anything either. you should stay away from that.
One side benefit to it is you have more people to offset the bunny hugging idiots that don't want people shooting deer. The more people hit deer, the more people realize that they aren't just cute little Bambi's that never hurt anything. It is not a good thing that people die in car/deer accidents, but there would be a lot more if we didn't hunt at all.
Hunters want a lot of deer, though.
Giraffe,
You are missing the obvious, and logical, point. People shouldn't have cars. Then they wouldn't be hitting deer.
I can't believe you missed something so blatantly obvious as that!
DMM,
Good point. Imagine all the oil we could save if we forced everyone to use deer-pulled sleds and wagons. The global market for gasoline would collapse to about 75 cents per gallon and then I could get that Chevy Suburban I have always wanted.
We need more deer.
And when they break down on the side of the road, AAA would arrive with a BBQ grill, a cooler and a portable band saw.
DMM. The down side is that if we went to Deer-powered vehicles, GM would roll out it's own version of electric powered deer. They would only go half as far as regular deer on a fill up and cost $10,000 more.
I've heard it works for Santa.
But that is because Santa only visits the Northern hemisphere, when it is snow covered. (Santa knows that is where all the Christian children are and only Christian children can be on the "nice" list. No point visiting Africa or Islamic countries.
