[Sca-cooks] Re:deer in Michigan

[Johnna Holloway]

Deer in Michigan? The state has  2 million deer !
And a budget crisis, so getting them picked up is not
a high priority. One of the articles recently in the local
Detroit paper was about a retired guy who does it for a hobby.
He averaged 3-4 a day. Counties that pay someone budget like
$50 a deer to get them picked up.

A group called the Michigan Deer Crash Coalition (I couldn’t make that 
name up) reports that every eight minutes a car and a deer collide in 
the home state of the Big 3. The group’s tally suggests the bill for all 
these accidents could be as high as $130 million.

the rules--
Police or DNR conservation officers may issue you a permit to keep the deer.

This is the only state that I know of where the teens are taught how to 
hit a deer
in driver's ed... and what to do with it when they hit it.
