DNR cautions drivers during ongoing whitetail deer rut
Most injuries, and a healthy percentage of the fatalities suffered during car accidents involving whitetail deer come from drivers avoiding, rather than striking the animals as they pursue each other during mating season.
That’s according to Brian Eyler, the deer project leader from Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources.
“It’s just getting started now — bucks are chasing does, the does are chasing bucks and love is in the air,” he said.
In the rare cases there are human fatalities from a crash involving an automobile and an animal, the more severe injuries generally come from the animal ricocheting off one car and onto another.
Hey Zorro I think you have it backwards...lets get rid of all the cars so the deer can mate freely without the danger of getting run over by a deplorable! But she gets to keep her car...
Geez I forgot cars make it rain in the spring, get hot in the summer, get cool in the fall, and cold in the winter according to the crack head progressive liberals...you have a point.....Ban all cars instead....Save the Deer
Love is in the air.

DeleteLove is in the air, and so is that ten point buck you just hit with your car.
ReplyDeleteI got hit by one last night, massive damage to my rear end.
ReplyDeleteOnly auto accident I have ever had was hitting a deer. Never thought it would happen to me...especially on RT 50.
