Another Important U.P. Breaking News Traffic Advisory 10-7-16 11:20 p.m.
In the past two weeks, we have noticed a big spike in car/deer accidents across the U.P. – at least two tonight including one was just reported on U.S. 2.
Remember its not the deer you see – its the one following it. Be extra cautious and aware – slow down if your are not in a hurry especially from dusk to dawn. But really all day.
Many Reasons:
These colder temps will trigger even more mating behavior plus with hunters now in the woods for various species – many deer are moving. Plus those setting up blinds for the Nov 15 opener.
As we reported a few weeks ago, moose are also on the move and pose a danger to drivers.
All an irony – as the U.P. deer herd has decimated by state mismanagement – and is now estimated at less than 80,000 deer. Plus the wasting disease has been a huge issue in Wisconsin and across the Lower Peninsula – again from bad practices.
