One less thing to worry about: The odds of hitting a deer with your vehicle while you're in Louisiana are below the national average, according to a report from State Farm. The insurance agency says the likelihood of a vehicle-deer collision is 1 in 393, based on the number of registered vehicles in Louisiana and the state's deer population. Nationally, the odds are 1 in 216. Drivers in West Virginia are most likely to run into a deer (1 in 57 odds), while if you're in Hawaii, you have the least chance of colliding with Bambi (1 in 16,624).
