Rochester Hills Deer Car Accidents
Rochester Hills has recently taken a step aimed at reducing the number of deer car accidents in the city. Last year, there were over 200 car accidents caused by or involving deer in Rochester Hills. In response, the city council recently voted to allow residents to hunt the city’s herd of approximately 1000 deer. Under the ordinance, no hunting is allowed from neighborhood or commercial property. The city is partnering with Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger to arrange for butchering the meat and distributing it to area shelters. The entire arrangement was done at no cost to the city.
Not everyone in the city is pleased with the deal. Members of the Residents for Safe Deer Management argued hunting will not achieve the city’s stated objective of decreasing car accidents. They supported increased use of fences and reflectors to achieve this goal without killing any deer.
Both groups’ positions make a lot of sense to me. Deer-related car accidents are a major problem in Michigan, especially at this time of year. The Michigan car accident lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire support reducing the number of deer-related car accidents and have sought to educate Michigan drivers on what to do to avoid deer car accidents.
