The DNR has a reminder to drivers “Don’t Swerve to Avoid Deer”. Most deer-vehicle crashes occur between September through January because of the fewer daylight hours and increased deer traffic because of mating and hunting seasons. In most cases drivers are prone to swerve to avoid objects or animals on the road but this can lead to a vehicle leaving the roadway or striking another vehicle which could lead to serious injuries. The best case scenario is to stay alert, expect deer to cross in the high risked marked signed areas and if need be, you may have to strike the deer to avoid a more serious accident. If you strike a deer, you need to report the crash by calling your local law enforcement agency, the State Patrol if on a state highway or the Department of Natural Resources.
