Deer crossing dangers rise in South Carolina rut season
Aiken area motorists face higher deer vehicle collisions during the rut with rural roads and curves contributing to risk. Charles Ruth of the DNR notes 45 percent of crashes occur in a 60 day deer breeding period while signs warn of deer but do not mark trails. Lt. David Turro cites a totaled vehicle after a deer collision and officials urge reduced speed and vigilance, reporting protocols for incidents and guidance on handling deer for consumption with proper reporting.
