Deer: Fall rut sees deer, drivers at greater risk Jersey Fish & Wildlife Assistant Commissioner David Golden said in a joint DEP/NJDOT press release. “We urge all drivers to be especially alert to the possibility of deer suddenly darting onto roadways, as well as know how to reduce the risk of a collision and possible serious injury to themselves, their passengers or others.” Peak mating season for deer in New Jersey runs from late October to mid-December. Awareness will become even more important when daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, officials warn. This means that many commutes will then align with the time when deer are most active, and lighting conditions may be the most difficult for driving. Reduced lighting as well as sun glare can make it very difficult for drivers to see deer that are about to cross the road. Rutgers Universityʼs New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station says white-tailed deer are large mammals generally ranging in size from 50 to 200 pounds. “While some adult males (bucks) can grow up to 3.5 feet tall

Safety tips to take you far The agencies said these tips can help drivers stay safe during peak periods of the annual fall rut: • Slow down if you see a deer and then watch for sudden movement. If the deer is in the road and doesnʼt move, wait for the deer to cross and the road is clear. Do not try to drive around the deer. • Watch for “Deer Crossing” signs. Drive slower when traveling

tissue. Bucks then rub off this soft layer once their antlers are fully grown. The size of these antlers is determined by age and nutrition levels. Antlers are shed annually each winter. “Does generally reach sexual maturity at 2 years of age. However, reproductive potential is directly related to nutritional state, so with good resources, fawns as young as 6 months can begin breeding. This phenomenon is common in New Jersey,” says the station.
Overpopulation persists Carol Tyco, a wildlife specialist with Tyco Animal Control, and a consultant to 24 Bergen County municipalities, including Northvale, has noted that deer overpopulation remains one of the countyʼs unaddressed issues. Asked about recommendation for a countywide approach to deer overpopulation, Tyco told Northern Valley Press, “The overpopulation will not end until the county comes up with a true plan … anything will be better than the ʻLetʼs ignore this and hope it goes awayʼ attitude.”

through areas known to have a high concentration of deer so there is enough time to stop, if necessary. • Use high beams during dark periods if there is no oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead. High beams will be reflected by the eyes of deer on or near roads. If you see one deer, assume that others may be in the area. • Donʼt tailgate. The driver ahead might have to stop suddenly to avoid colliding with a deer. • Always wear a seatbelt, as required by law. Drive at a safe and sensible speed, following the speed limit, factoring for weather, available lighting, traffic, curves and other road conditions. • Do not swerve to avoid impact if a collision appears inevitable; a deer may countermaneuver suddenly. Brake appropriately and stay in your lane. Collisions are more likely to become fatal when a driver swerves to avoid a deer and instead collides with oncoming traffic or a fixed structure along the road. • Report any deer–vehicle collision to a local law enforcement agency immediately. Obey the stateʼs hands-free device law or refrain from using cellular devices while driving.
