Living in Massachusetts, we see a lot of deer. My house is backed up to woods, so they tend to travel through my backyard from time to time. It’s nice when deer are standing still.

Deer on the Move Aren’t So Fun, Especially When They Collide with Moving Vehicles
I drive to work anywhere between 3:30 and 4 am. It’s about a 35-minute drive for me. Driving to work this early in the morning, I see my share of wildlife, including skunks, foxes, bears, and deer. As a matter of fact, last summer, out of nowhere, a deer smashed into the side of my vehicle on Holmes Road in Pittsfield. Needless to say, I had damage to the front passenger door. I had it repaired. Since then, I have installed deer whistles on both of my cars. Call me paranoid, but when you drive to work as early as I do, it’s worth it.
