Deer collision season is back.

State transportation officials are warning drivers again that
the height of deer's mating season is October and November. That
means Wisconsin's signature creature will be on the move, darting
onto highways and roads.

The state Department of Transportation says deer are the third
most commonly struck object in state vehicle crashes, behind
collisions with another car or a fixed object.
 
Law enforcement agencies recorded some 16,340 deer-vehicle crashes across the state
last year.
