It is outside the usual window of heightened crossings, but an accident Thursday reminded you to watch out for deer. Just after 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, a Colorado couple was traveling in their pickup truck on County Highway E near County Highway A in the Town of Baileys Harbor when they struck a crossing deer. The impact was hard enough that it triggered the vehicle’s airbags. The driver, a 61-year-old man from Roggen, Colo., complained of minor thumb pain while his passenger, a 60-year-old woman, said she had stomach pain that was likely from the seat belt. Neither had to be transported to the hospital for treatment, though the roadway was closed until about 6:45 p.m. for clean-up. While deer collisions happen year-round in Door County, they are less frequent in August. According to the 2023 Door County Sheriff’s Department Annual Report, 12 of the county’s 320 deer hits occurred during August. That is five less than the 17 seen in March and April, which was the next lowest total. By comparison, there were more than 60 car/deer collisions last November.
