What if we gave them fur that glows under UV light? And then modify our headlights to give off just a little UV. Then when the light hits their fur, they glow!
Most predators don’t have UV flashlights, so this should be a viable alternative.
Ever had glofish? They look much brighter under a blacklight, but they’re still noticably colorful even under natural sunlight, in a way that the unmodified zebra danios (the original fish) are not
Give the deer a bright orange glow and then jam some deer genes into their predators so they have a harder time seeing that color. Close the loop by taking a selection of those predators’ features and distributing them at random in the glowing fish population.
I doubt that the gene would be successful in the wild, given it would make it harder for the deer to hide from predators.

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.
Unless predators have fluorescent light it shouldn’t be a problem, it’s not bioluminescence.

Yeah… All those predators…like … Hmmm. Yeah. Looks like cars kill more deer then predators there bud.
Except that the reintroduced Canadian wolves into yellowstone proves that one dead wrong.

“jam some deer genes”. I don’t know if that would work, but they definitely have to film it.
