That's one big danger with them on roadways, plus, they won't just move off the road either. Unlike deer, their fur doesn't reflect light so you can't see them until you've hit them most often. I have had many close calls and what I learned from the locals was, just avoid driving at night. We had bears and elk too, none of which are easy to see at night. And it's a terrible scene when one does get hit. Usually they are injured seriously but not die right away and that is a horrible event.
