Deer jump fences. I have been able to safely stop far enough back to sit, watch and wait.

The “Deer”. Are coming from the forest Areas, it does not take a Genius, to figure that out! But, why “ all of a Sudden? Has this happened before? , if NOT, then some unknown force is taking place in this particular spot, I’m sure with all the “ MODERN “,”, technical knowledge America has, they will know the answer. What I really DESPISE, is how Evil& DEMONIC, of Mankind to always mention , how this will Effect “Hunting”!, for the ARMED Coward Hunters, , to hunt them down! Is that , one of the Disgusting reasons why they want to find out , “WHY “?, this is so DESPICABLE!!!!, these kind. Of “Species, , deserve to be jumping over that Bridge!, maybe the Deer would rather “commit Suiside”, than be murders by the SATANIC Human BEASTS!!!

You either do depredation hunts or have carcasses littered everywhere with disease. Just like globalist are trying to do with the human population.

.Moody,
The hunters pay a lot of money each year in support of the deer herds. Without the support of the hunters you would have mass starving due to over population.
It has happened all over the country once the wolf populations were exterminated.

Most likely a predator such as wolves have moved into that habitat causing these critters to seek safer feeding grounds. Motion activated lights could be installed warning traffic to slow down. Could be Fedderman, Nanci, and Joey wandering around gnashing teeth.

I believe the deer have a fear that Fetterman might be elected and he would try to articulate his plan to save them. Instead of listening, they would rather jump. We can learn a lot from nature.

Find a deterrent to keep the deer off the bridge, eg, errect and 8 foot fence restricting access. The fence should redirect the deer route. But, in the mean time, give someone the resposibility to harvest the carcuses before they spoil and give the meat to orphanages, nursing homes, etc.

I WAS BORN IN CENTRAL PA IN 1939VAND LEFT FOR VIETNAM IN 1958 RET’D IN 1984. I’VE TRAVELED MUCH OF THE WORLD AND THESE GREAT UNITED STATES AND NOW LIVE IN COLORADO. HERES AN IDEA THAT MOST STATES HAVE DONE FOR THEIR HEAVY DEER, ELK AND MOOSE POPULATIONS. THEY’VE ESTABLISH & FUNDED ANIMAL CROSSINGS EIGHT TO TEN FEET WIDE OVER THE HIGHWAYS WITH VEGETATION GROWTH TO COACH THE ANIMALS TO CROSS AT THESE AREAS. IF IT SAVES ONE ACCIDENT IT SERVES THE PURPOSE AS WHEN YOU HAVE HIGHWAY ANIMAL VS VEHICLE ACCIDENTS YOU HAVE HUMAN % OF CARNAGE THAT IS NOT NECESSARY. THESE CROSS OVERS CAN BE WRITTEN IN ROAD RECONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS OR HIGHWAY REPLACEMENTS. ANY STATES OUT HERE IN THE WEST HAVE THESE GATEWAYS FOR ANIMALS TO SAFELY CROSS UNIMPEDED TO THE TRAFFIC. BRING THIS UP AT YOUR NEXT BOARD MEETING. JUST PICK THE HEAVIEST ANIMAL TRANSIT AREAS AND INSTALL THEM.
