What are defensive driving techniques during deer migration?
Drivers in SW Colorado should ALWAYS be on the look out for wildlife on area roads regardless of the season, however; the main push of migrating deer cross Hwy 160 the second week in May and again the last week in October. During these times, the most effective way to minimize chances of having an animal / vehicle collision is to slow down, particularly at low-light times of day in the mornings and evenings.
