Maybe they should put those deer crossing signs in areas more suitable for crossing instead of in the interstate.
I went to Hawaii (The Big Island) a couple years ago and rented a minivan for my family and parents. Coming back from the Hilo side to Kona at night, there was a stretch of road absolutely smattered with the blood stains of wild boar. I had multiple instances of full braking, or edge of limit steering avoiding the dumb creatures. That was with a full minivan. Absolute white knuckle driving. Of course, I'd just hit one rather than exceed the handling capabilities of the vehicle, but fortunately I didn't have to.
I'm surprised that wasn't one of the "no-go zones" rental companies get you to agree to considering that is by far the most dangerous area I've ever driving on a Hawaiian island. They exclude easy to drive areas like Haleakalā, or the back way to Hana, but hundreds of wild boar on a highway is fine.
