Deer Alert!
Drivers, get reaady to brake.
It's rutting season for deer. That means male and female deer are on the move more than in other seasons. That means more deer will be running in front of more cars. For those less familiar with driving on Rappahannock roads during deer season, here are a few tips: • Deer do not cross at the signs. They cross anywhere, anytime. They see a road simply as an open space to cross. • Deer avoid danger in just two ways: they freeze or run. The deer frozen in your headlights will not run; the deer entering your headlight beam from the side will not stop. • Deer sometimes travel in groups; each will go where the one in front has gone. If you see a deer leaving the road in front of you, expect more deer to cross. • Deer are more likely to travel at dusk or at night, but they also will be seen during the day. • Any time of day, deer are more likely to cross roads when forests come closer to the roadside. Deer were not made for civilization. It's up to drivers to be alert to their habits and avoid them.
