If a deer got hit and its guts busted open it took however long for the breeze to bring the scent to them for them to get interested. This time of year when their belly’s stay full they wont rush to the buffet though on the edge of a road if that road has vehicles at night
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Coyotes are plenty smart enough to realize, after a few lucky accidents, that driving deer onto the highway frequently results in a meal. I have a coyote leaning against my legs eating, right now and have seen her figure out cause and effect, over and over.
Katie, my coyote, figured out that if she pushes the button on our kitchen garbage can with her nose that the lid will open.

Keith Have you seen this action? I'm not talking a deer running across the road with a coyote chasing but actually coyotes herding deer on to a road way and trying to hold them there for traffic?

I have not seen it, but it seems very likely that some coyotes have learned to chase deer onto highways. Holding deer there seems like it would be very hard to do for a pack of coyotes. In areas like much of Ohio with very high deer populations in areas with very heavy traffic, chasing deer on to the highway would have a pretty high reward rate for coyotes. Keith

Many times, I've seen does in November go lay down in a field near the highway trying to get bucks to leave them alone, but often the bucks stand right there beside them. I could see a doe leading a buck across the highway trying to get him run over. Just like something a female would do!

For 21 years I drove a garbage truck that had an air horn. I goosed every hawk on utility poles, and cats strolling across roads. Twice, I made cats do a complete backflip with the air horn. (Yes, they did land on their feet) And, did you know a possum can jump clear across a 3' wide ditch?

Last year, I was hunting and watched a doe come across the field and cross a ditch. She was about 80 yards in front of my stand, and I had no plans of shooting her. As she walked down into the weedy ditch to cross using a trail , a coyote jumped out right next to her and tried to grab her. Luckily she got away. Here the coyote had been waiting in the weeds right beside the trail, or it was a coincidence. It really was amazing to see something like that.
