The state's deer population has risen dramatically in recent years, and many motorists encounter them at night along country roads in the Baltimore area. Have you or any other driver in your household ever collided with a deer or had a close call?

To give your answer, call SUNDIAL at 783-1800 (or 268-7736 in Anne Arundel County). After you hear the greeting, you'll be asked to punch in a four-digit code on your Touch-Tone phone. The code is 4600. The results will be published tomorrow.
