K-DOT is warning Kansas drivers to be alert for deer on area highways now that breeding season is underway.
The deer are most active at dawn and dust, but, KHP Trooper Chad Crittenden says they can be unpredictable. "Butler County has the most deer strikes, followed by Sedgwick County, along the Kansas Turnpike corridor," he advises.
If a deer does run in front of your vehicle, officials say it's better to hit the animal and do not try to swerve to avoid it.
