Fall brings foliage, frost on the pumpkin, and lots and lots of deer.
It’s rutting season, which means deer are very active.
Mating season for whitetail deer runs from mid-October through early December.
When deer are out looking for mates, they can venture onto roadways — especially at night — and cause crashes.
In 2018, there were more than 14,300 crashes involving deer in Indiana, according to Indiana State Police Sgt. Todd Ringle.
If you hit a deer, don’t touch it. A frightened and wounded deer can hurt you or further injure itself, says the Insurance Information Institute.
