There were experiment painting reindeer antlers here in Finland. But it failed, the paint wont last. So nothing to see here really. Yet another internet ”thing” circling around

Did they try other alternatives, like reflective tape? Wrap it around like handlebar tape. Make it degradable or else the woods will fill up with junk.
Let's brainstorm some more, design a special hunter-seeker robot powered by AI that captures deer in the wild and performs this menial task.
Thank you, I'll show myself out.
Bio-engineer the animals so their antlers and/or fur becomes reflective itself, and / or glow in the dark.
You seem to have forgotten to take your comment out with you.
I think what fancy cars do with infrared cameras is the actual solution. I don't know what's so prohibitively expensive about infrared cameras, I think it should be standard in "mid+tier" cars in the nordics and similars. However fencing has become very supermegamuch better which works well too, i guess because of more automated installation
ITER. Thermal cameras are used in missile guidance, so the US makes it hard to get good thermal cameras.
Not to mention they have to round up all the deer and paint each and every one of them first. Which is probably fine for farmed deer but not wild ones.
