Found this article on the web recently...

State Farm apparently likes to keep stats on how often deer are hit and how much they like to jack your rates up...Seems like if you hit a deer, what difference does it make "where" you hit the deer? Why do rates go up (considerably) in one state and nothing in another? In the highest risk State (#1), if you hit a deer, there is no increase...

So, how many of you have hit a deer? How much damage did you incur? Do you have a Grill Guard installed on your truck?

I dropped State Farm like a rock a few years back. Rates with them got ridiculous.

Anyway, here are "their" stats and the price you'll pay...
