In Michigan, drivers who hit deer must call police and may need a permit to keep the deer's meat or antlers.

In Michigan, where about 50,000 vehicle-deer accidents happen yearly, drivers involved in such incidents should call the police if the deer is injured but alive. To keep the deer's meat or antlers, a hunting permit is required, and drivers must fill out a form for the Michigan DNR's vehicle roadkill program. Possessing antlers without a permit is illegal.
