A seasonal reminder – please drive safe.
This afternoon as we were driving back from the farm we saw two deer run across the road. Fortunately they were far enough ahead of us that we didn’t have to slow down, but my husband said, “When you talk to the girls remind them that it is rutting season”.
The girls have heard this term before as every year since they have been driving we give them the warning. Rutting or mating season means an increase in deer activity. The deer are often running at full speed, a male chasing a female, and have no awareness of, or regard for, traffic in the area. So when we tell the girls that it is rutting season we warn them to be extra carful when driving.
What should they do to be extra careful?
- Focus on driving. Do not allow yourself to become distracted by passengers, eating, cell phones or anything…

We have the same thing going on here. Not only is it is rutting season our farmers are finally getting the corn crop out and the deer are losing their hiding place! Our son hit a deer once and it was not a good thing!

Having lived in areas where deer are prevalent, these reminders are always warranted. My husband hit a deer once, but more often has been able to avoid a collision.
