Deer/vehicle accidents can occur any time of year, but in Kansas, October-December are the prime months for seeing an uptick in collisions due to rutting season.  

The Kansas Department of Transportation and Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks give some great information and advice for staying safe on the roadways.

And DON'T FORGET!  The Coffey County Sheriff's Office maintains a deer call list.  If a deer collision results in a deceased animal, we will use this list to contact individuals who wish to harvest the animal.
