Road kill numbers

I drove to Des Moines from Iowa City on I80 last Saturday (6/8) and back on Sunday (best ICubs game I've ever seen) and was amazed at the number of road kill deer. When I finally started counting around Colfax on the way back, I counted 12, inculding a double, before I lost track. Some I didn't see on Saturday, but I might not have anyway, wrong side of the road.

I thought this was an abnormally high number given the time of year. Anybody else seen more than normal road kill? And if so why are they on the roads instead of browsing? High water?

Kinda hard to tell buck or doe at 75mph.
