Vehicle-Wildlife Collisions

Wildlife Doesn’t Know to Look Both Ways. But You Do!

Wildlife-Vehicle Collision Hotspot Maps

The maps below indicate where wildlife-vehicle collisions involving elk, moose and deer most frequently occurred between 2011 and 2023. Roadkill data used for maps is a combination of Nature Mapping Jackson Hole observations and carcasses recorded by the Wyoming Department of Transportation and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

Due to exclusionary fencing and wildlife underpasses installed on S. Highway 89 between 2018 and 2022, collision hotspots between Hoback Junction and Rafter J likely reflect higher incidents—especially involving mule deer—prior to mitigation. Early data shows collisions on this stretch have dropped by at least 30% in recent years.
