Abstract

This paper explores the value of records of deer killed accidentally by motor vehicles on Wisconsin highways, and it discusses the potential value of the records in the form in which they are now available. The deer that die accidentally on highways are referred to in this report as road-kills. One of the basic questions explored here is whether or not the reported number of road-kills can be used as an annual population index. In addition to evaluating yearly trends, the sex and age composition of the dead animals is discussed.
