You may want to pay a little more attention on the road when you're driving, especially if its a woody area.

It's the active season for deer and moose. It's breeding season from October to December, which means they could end up near the roads this time of year.

The University at Albany’s Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research did a study of accidents last year and found that more than 41% of crashes between deer and cars happened in this 3-month span.

Drivers should be most aware at dawn and dusk because that's when the animals are most active.

Deer often travel in packs, so the DEC recommends that, if you come across a deer on the road to slow down or honk your horn to help avoid them going in the road.

If you do hit a deer, pull over to the side of the road and call the police.

Do not approach the deer - a frightened, wounded animal could kick you with its legs.
