Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You're innocently and carefully driving down the road when suddenly a demented deer recklessly leaps from behind a bush onto the roadway just in front of your car. There is a sickening crunch, then blackness...About how many deer collide with hapless US drivers yearly?

Answer: 500,000 to 1,500,000

To put this in perspective there were only 407,842 robberies in the United States in the year 2000. If it was a crime for a deer to step in front of a car-deer collisions would be virtually the only category of crime increasing in America.
2. The paramedics extract your lifeless body from the mangled remains of your automobile. Approximately how many vital, productive human beings lose their lives yearly in these senseless encounters with errant deer?

Answer: 100

OK so, it's probably a bit less than 100 most years. Still, I contend that as long as even a single valuable human life is lost to the depredations of this renegade breed, it is the loss of one life too many!
3. Months later your grieving family receives the cold comfort of a check from the insurance company for your "deerly" demolished vehicle. What is the total estimated yearly dollar cost for deer inflicted vehicular damage?

Answer: $1,000,000,000

Almost twice the gross national product of the island nation of Cape Verde!
4. There are approximately 1000 times as many deer-related human deaths each decade as humans killed by mountain lions.

Answer: False

All right, so it's closer to 100 times. Still, comparatively, mountain lions are real pussycats.
5. In 2002, when an unfortunate man who was hunting coyotes was gored in an unprovoked deer attack, which of the following excuses did deer apologists use?

Answer: All of these

Attacks on humans by deer are held to be rare. The vicious animal is usually absolved on the basis of provocative behavior on the part of the unfortunate victim or because of having been raised in human "captivity." Mark Twain once observed that if you fed a dog and gave it a place to sleep it would not bite you; and that this was the chief difference between dogs and men. What shall we say of deer?
6. A survey in New Jersey found that 25% of farmers had to abandon parcels of tillable land because of deer depredations while 36% of farmers had to plant other than their preferred crops because of marauding white-tails.

Answer: True

Well of course it's true! Deer are major agricultural pests.
7. A herd of 75 elk migrated to a California farmer's property, knocking down a barbed wire fence and allowing his cattle to escape before consuming his mature but unharvested barley crop.

Answer: True

The fish and game department had originally introduced elk herds into the area. Their solution for the problem they created was for the farmers to receive the proceeds from elk hunting tags to offset the crop damage.
8. In 1959, four deer were introduced on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Their population is now in the 1000s and they cause at least $100,000 of damage yearly. Their population doubles every how many years?

Answer: 4

Maui Islanders are now having to develop elaborate plans for fencing and hunting to control this nuisance.
9. According to a University of Maryland study, the estimated cost of deer damage to homeowners in metropolitan areas throughout the USA would be less than $200,000,000.

Answer: False

$251,000,000 actually. $251,000,000 that could be used to fight poverty, end injustice or put an astronaut on Mars!
10. Each year deer kill more people than tornadoes, end the lives of more people than killer bees and rack up economic damages totaling more than twice the educational budget of the state of South Dakota.

Answer: True
