    I’m not hunting them, my car is though. I hit one years ago going 70 on the interstate at night. It totaled my car. So, now I hate driving at night and they love to hang out in the ditches just to scare me.

      You can get a small high-frequency whistle you can attach on the front of the car that should scare them away. It is outside audible range and supposedly has lowered the amount of incidents from a test phase our local elder care conducted when they placed them on all their cars.

      I haven’t seen them in production yet, but for years I’ve heard of the idea of infrared detection in car systems to see warm bodies better at night on a screen or heads up display. There was also the idea of using that along with IR lighting and road markings to light up the road better. Like having high beams on without blinding other drivers, something that is far too common these days.
