Deer rutting and dusk patrols elevate risk near hotspots such as Winnipeg Brandon Westman Steinbach Birds Hill and Lac du Bonnet Seven Sister areas. One death and three injuries occurred this year after a vehicle swerved to avoid a deer. Authorities urge motorists to slow down scan ditches and brake rather than swerve in deer dense areas.
