When I was first driving (nearly 20 years ago..woof), one of the roads the went to my parent’s house was absolutely treacherous with deer - way worse than any other road in the area. You had to be on guard and I had two incidents where deer ran into my fully stopped car.

Now? There are still plenty of deer there, but they no longer spook at all. I don’t slow down one bit, and they often just keep eating on the side of the road. I guess all of the spook-genes died out in that area as cars were a bigger danger than coyotes and hunters.
