Besides being traffic hazards they're carriers of Lyme disease.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease
A more effective, community wide method of preventing Lyme disease is to
reduce the numbers of primary hosts on which the deer tick depends such
as rodents, other small mammals, and deer. Reduction of the deer
population may over time help break the reproductive cycle of the deer
ticks and their ability to flourish in suburban and rural areas.[65]
Management of host animals
Lyme and all other deer-tick-borne diseases can be prevented on
a regional level by reducing the deer population that the ticks depend
on for reproductive success. This has been demonstrated in
the communities of Monhegan, Maine[66] and in Mumford Cove,
Connecticut.[67] The black-legged or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis)
depends on the white-tailed deer for successful reproduction.
For example, in the US, it is suggested that by reducing the deer
population back to healthy levels of 8 to 10 per square mile (from the
current levels of 60 or more deer per square mile in the areas of the
country with the highest Lyme disease rates), the tick numbers can be
brought down to levels too low to spread Lyme and other tick-borne
diseases.[68]

I don't think you're really trying.
You should have gotten it by now.

Next time, do a bunch of "stoppies" instead of "wheelies." :/
