Around 74,000 deer are hit on Britain's roads every year, according to figures from breakdown service Autonational Rescue.
Such accidents can cause up to 700 human casualties, including several fatalities, and annually cost more than 21 million pounds in damage, according to the data.
"There are probably around 200 accidents a day involving deer," said Autonational marketing manager Ronan Hart.
"It's a much bigger problem than people realise and not something that happens once in a blue moon to motorists," added a spokesman for deer protection organisation, The Deer Initiative.
