Ever wonder which state boasts the highest likelihood of smashing one's car into a deer?

Wonder no more! According to State Farm the answer is West Virginia, where a driver has, on average, a 1 in 53 chance of colliding with a deer. This is followed by Iowa, where the chance is 1 in 77.

Wondering where one is least likely to hit a deer? To answer let me quote directly from this press release:
The state in which deer-vehicle collisions are least likely is...Hawaii (1 in 6,267). The odds of a Hawaiian driver colliding with a deer between now and 12 months from now are approximately equal to the odds that that driver is a practicing nudist.
I suppose if anyone would have figures relating to the odds of a driver being a practicing nudist, it would be an insurance company.
