Drivers being reminded to keep a close watch out for deer

You’re being reminded to keep a watch out for deer while behind the wheel.

Perth County OPP says that from now until December is the worst time of the year for deer collisions as the animals are more active due to breeding, feeding and hunting patterns.

Police say collisions with deer can range from minor damage to vehicles to fatal injuries to those in the vehicles.

Due to the fact that there is a huge deer population in and around our area, drivers need to know that they share the road.

Collisions with a deer or other animal must be reported to police if it results in any personal injury, or if damage to the vehicle exceeds $2000.
