- Take note of deer crossing areas, and slow down
- Expect more than one animal to cross the road

- Understand dawn and dusk are peak times for deer movement
Remember - don't swerve to avoid a deer, slow down as much as possible and drive through the animal, don't chance rolling your truck if you come upon an unavoidable situation.
