Necropsies of female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) that died from various causes between 9 March and 1 June 1981 were conducted throughout Michigan by Department of Natural Resources personnel. Embryo counts were made and the deer were aged to the nearest full year. Most of the deer examined were highway mortalities (96%). The remainder included illegal kills (1%) and deer which died from other accidents (3%) such as drownings or collisions with obstructions.
