According to a previous study by MDC (of 266 collared deer around St. Louis) deer were found to live a more confined life with the most common form of death being related to Deer Vehicle Collisions. There are few predators/hunts to control their populations. Urban deer tend to have smaller home ranges (100-300 acres) than do their rural counterparts. Urban deer are many times more likely to die from Deer Vehicle Collisions.
