Dude, we have deer. How long you been living here anyway?

I saw more deer when I lived in the DC suburbs and far less people had grille guards. If any. I actually can't remember a single example. In both Austin and the DC suburbs pedestrians far outnumber large wild animals, so I think grille guards are frivolous and dangerous in those places.

I've lived here long enough to observe that grille guards are far more prevalent here than they are in other places, even other places where grille guards seem appropriate.

Well they’re in the hills. The deer, i mean. As to grille guards: I do agree they’re frivolous and dangerous, but you’ve been living here long enough to know those are very Texan qualities.
How many deer do you see in urban areas with lots of pedestrian traffic?
We have deer in Iowa too; 100 to the acre on average. No grill guards.
Then just don't hit the deers.
