TRAVERSE CITY, MI – Whitetail deer killed in traffic don’t always drop dead in convenient locations. Just ask Brad Kluczynski, managing director at Grand Traverse County Road Commission ...

In rural areas, road workers typically drag deer carcasses to the edge of the public right-of-way easement and leave them to decompose at the roadway forest lines.

A person reporting a dead deer on the DNR’s website will be asked for contact information, the number of dead deer, the location of the carcass and whether the carcass was near a body of water.
