Motorists Should be Aware : Deer Wandering on Roads in Missouri


Posted on Oct 24, 2011

Drivers should be alert and cautious for deer while operating their motor vehicles.

As the cooler weather sets in Missouri, deer become more active and start to look for new hiding places as the fall leaves fall to the ground.

Even into November, the deer are on the move as the breeding season begins for them.  Motorists will be able to spot them all day long; however they are most active during the evening, dusk and dawn hours.

Tips for drivers to avoid a collision with a deer:

·         Be alert.

·         Slow down

·         Drive cautiously especially through wooded and farm areas.

·         Keep an eye on the shoulders, ditches and field edges as deer tend to wait to cross a road.

·         Use your bright headlights at night when possible for a better view of the street and surrounding areas.

·         If you see one deer, there are usually more deer close behind.

·         If a deer darts into the road, slow down rather than panic braking or swerving.

If you do hit a deer, call 911 immediately to report the accident.  If the deer is still alive, wait for law enforcement to arrive at the scene. Want to keep the meat, hide or antlers?  You must contact a conservation agent in the county where the accident occurred and request a deposition form before taking the deer into your possession.
