Car Insurance discount for deer hunters?

I was involved in a discussion about car insurance and discounts offered for various things, like taking a safe driver course. 

A man suggested deer hunters should get a 1 year discount if they bag a deer during hunting season, reason being high deer populations wreck many auto's and insurance companies have to pay. 

This might also be a good incentive for people to take up deer hunting as well.  I laughed at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think it would be a great idea.

So many things the insurance companies give discounts for are really not preventing auto collisions.  This idea really does.

Insurance companies do not care. In areas of higher collisions, they  up the comp rate - sometimes even making more. The money paid out is simply another cost of business and is factored in setting the rate. The actual money paid for deer  out is but a tiny fraction of their total costs to the point of being statistically insignificant.

I just did “ Smart Ride “ ,you plug the unit into, your car, and it looks at four things , miles driven after midnight , hard stops/starts, minutes in stop and go, traffic , miles driven . We’re getting a 24% reduction ,that was easy, left the Subaru in the garage and drove the truck .....
