Drivers should take some extra precautions when traveling due to increased deer activity. There are two times of the year when deer tend to be on the move, and that includes early June when does are giving birth. In the past three days, there have been two car-deer accidents, according to Deputy Chief Pat McCarty of the Door County Sheriff’s Office. McCarty says there is no simple answer to avoiding a crash.
They tend to be most active around sunrise and sunset as they forage for food. Accidents involving deer are not typically severe for the driver or passengers that are involved. Minor property damage is the most common consequence.
