KDOT Cautions Drivers To Watch Out For Deer

Kansas officials are cautioning drivers to
be extra alert for deer as the animals’ mating season approaches.
Deer will be on the move more than unusual next month, with
breeding season peaking in mid-November. Many also move to new
locations in the fall as crops are harvested and trees and shrubs
lose their leaves.
November brings the highest number of deer-vehicle collisions in
Kansas, but they also occur throughout the year and in all 105
counties.
The state Transportation Department says Kansas recorded
slightly more than 9,100 deer-vehicle collisions in 2010. Sedgwick
County led the state with near 400 such collisions.
