More deer will be on Wisconsin roadways as the fall season settles in and they’re still not using the crossings. *rimshot! It’s an old Wisconsin joke, but the danger is real on the roads as deer are moving.
The Department of Transportation says October and November are peak mating season for deer in the state. More than 16-thousand crashes including deer were reported last year, leaving 14 people dead and almost 600 injured. The DOT says deer are most active during early morning and evening hours.
