Abstract

In 1968 and 1969 the numbers of white-tailed deer reported killed on Pennsylvania highways were 21,607 and 21,246, respectively. Deer-vehicle collisions also often entail extensive vehicle damage and injury or death to the human occupants. A long-term study has been undertaken, employing an eight-mile stretch of I-80, to determine the activity, behavior, and mortality of deer. Parameters in the study are described, data are cited, and tentative conclusions are drawn.
