The white tailed deer are a wonderful resource whose populations have reached troublesome proportions. As a result, fully one third of all automobile accident involve deer. The areas of Two Lights, Bowery Beach, Shore and Sawyer roads are particularly susceptible to car/deer accidents. From September to January, motorists should be very vigilant during nighttime travel for deer that can appear in the roadway without warning.

Another tip ... if a deer crosses your path be ready for the second or third to follow!
