In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the annual fall deer hunt is a way of life, the population has dropped as much as 40 percent after two bitterly cold and snowy winters. The state’s Natural Resources Commission will discuss the situation Thursday during its monthly meeting in Lansing. A memo prepared by the Department of Natural Resources lists six options, including canceling this year’s U.P. deer hunting season. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

Mayfield said a deer was struck by two vehicles on the highway. After being hit by the first car traveling southbound, she said, the deer crashed through the windshield of a Nissan Maxima moving in the opposite direction.
