This is the time of year when deer become more active, and the possibility of encountering a deer while driving increases. Conservation Agent Jared Milligan said hunters in the woods will stir up deer and deer moving around the find food, which means they may cross roadways.

It’s important to slow down when driving in areas that are known for deer crossing and remember if you see one deer there may be more to follow, so stay alert.
Trying to swerve to miss a deer could cause you to crash your vehicle potentially injuring yourself and others.
