-Each fall, body shops and automotive repair businesses are in great demand as the deer crash season peaks.October and November are the mating season for deer, which makes them more active especially at dusk and dawn when they move back and forth between their bedding and feeding areas.
As they roam, deer often will dart unexpectedly into the path of vehicles, and drivers likely will confront the panicky ?deer in the headlights? predicament.
To avoid a collision, drivers must be attentive and cautious at all times, Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials advise.
Last year, Wisconsin law enforcement agencies reported a total of 18,176 deer vs. motor vehicle crashes.
