Motorists need to be on the look-out for deer at all times, but a state deer biologist says the time is drawing near when the deer begin to move and motorists need to be especially watchful.
It isn’t quite that time of year says biologist Lonnie Hansen with the State Conservation Department, but the bucks have begun to move and rutting season will soon be upon us. Deer are more active at dawn and dusk, their preferred feeding times. If it is inevitable that you are going to run into a deer, hit it squarely. Hansen says when drivers swerve to avoid a deer, it often puts in motion the making of a much worse accident, either the driver loses control of his vehicle or runs into another car.
