Injured Deer
If a deer is struck by a vehicle but not killed, drivers are urged to maintain their distance because some deer might recover and move on. However, if a deer does not move on or poses a public safety risk, drivers are encouraged to report the incident to the Game Commission. If the deer must be put down, the Game Commission will direct the proper person to do so.

Don’t hesitate to contact our Public Works Department if you have exhausted all other options, at 724.79.5698.
