Don’t get stuck in a rut! – Rutting season is coming up

Rutting season is a timeframe when many animal species mate. Rutting season generally takes place in October, November, and December. Animal activity near roadways tends to increase during this time, with activity peaking during early morning and evening hours. Safety experts recommend reducing speed in areas marked with animal crossing signs. Many animals travel in groups, so if you see one, there are usually more to follow. Slow down and proceed with caution to help mitigate the risk driving through these areas.
