I’ve seen 10 dead deer on the side of the road just the last two weeks.2.1 million deer hits per year???Daylight saving for does? Keeping practice year-round would prevent thousands of deer deaths, driving injuries
General's fatal encounter (to the car, who cares a damn about the damned deer!?) had his name written on it. But seriously a 2.3% reduction if we stayed on DST year-round is hardly significant in this "shooting gallery" that we are negotiating yearly. Even in the city - Salt Lake County, aka "Salt Lake City" generally - which has c. 1.2 million people in it, I see deer within walking distance of my house almost yearly, and I've seen two dead deer on 9000 South and Old Bingham Hwy within the last five years, so, literally this can happen anywhere. I'm just flabbergasted at that number, 2.1 MILLION per year: any amount of reduction to the risk is worthwhile, in my opinion. Utah is quite possibly going to permanent DST within this next cycle.
Always bad this time of year.
