DEER ON THE MOVE, CROSSING ROADS MORE
With deer becoming increasingly active, and daylight-saving time soon to put more vehicles on the road during the hours when deer move most, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is advising motorists to slow down and stay alert.
Deer become more active in autumn with the lead-up to their fall breeding season, commonly referred to as the “rut.” Around this time, many yearling bucks disperse from the areas in which they were born and travel, sometimes several dozen miles, to find new ranges. Meanwhile, adult bucks more often are cruising their home ranges in search of does, and they sometimes chase the does they encounter.
When daylight-saving time ends Nov. 6, there also will be increased vehicular traffic between dusk and dawn – the peak hours for deer activity.
“While the peak of the whitetail rut is still a few weeks off, deer already are spending more time on the move and are bound to be crossing roads more often,” said Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans. “While motorists always should remain alert while driving, it’s especially important now in the coming weeks to be on the lookout for whitetails.”
Data from around the country indicates Pennsylvania drivers face some of the highest risks of a vehicle collision with a deer or other large animal. A recent report shows Pennsylvania led the country in animal-collision insurance claims in the fiscal year 2021-22. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania drivers, according to the report, have a 1-in-58 chance of a vehicular accident involving a big game animal – one of the highest rates nationwide.
Drivers can reduce their chances of collisions with deer by staying alert and better understanding deer behavior. Just paying attention while driving on stretches marked with “Deer Crossing” signs can make a difference.
Deer often travel in groups and walk single file. So even if one deer successfully crosses the road in front of a driver, it doesn’t mean the threat is over. Another could be right behind it.
A driver who hits a deer with a vehicle is not required to report the accident to the Game Commission. If the deer dies, only Pennsylvania residents may claim the carcass. To do so, they can call the Game Commission at 1-833-PGC-HUNT or 1-833-PGC-WILD and an agency dispatcher will collect the information needed to provide a free permit number, which the caller should write down.
A resident must call within 24 hours of taking possession of the deer. A passing Pennsylvania motorist also may claim the deer, if the person whose vehicle hit it doesn’t want it.
Those taking possession of road-killed deer also are advised of rules related to Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) that prohibit the removal of high-risk deer parts – essentially the head and backbone – from any established Disease Management Area (DMA) or Established Area (EA). Those parts must be removed before the deer is transported outside a DMA or EA. For maps of these areas, the complete list of high-risk parts and other information on CWD, visit www.pgc.pa.gov.
If a deer is struck by a vehicle, but not killed, drivers are urged to maintain their distance because some deer might recover and move on. However, if a deer does not move on, or poses a public safety risk, drivers are encouraged to report the incident to the Game Commission or another law-enforcement agency. If the deer must be put down, the Game Commission will direct the proper person to do so.
To report a dead deer for removal from state roads, motorists can call the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation at 1-800-FIX-ROAD

PFBC ENCOURAGES SAFETY WHILE FISHING AND BOATING DURING THE COLD WEATHER MONTHS, ADDS SEVERAL STREAMS TO TROUT SLOT LIMIT PROGRAMS, AND INCLUDES INVASIVE SNAKEHEADS ON THE LIST OF SPECIES THAT MAY BE HARVESTED THROUGH BOWFISHING
HARRISBURG, Pa. (October 24) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) began its quarterly business meeting by encouraging anglers and boaters to take advantage of opportunities to enjoy the water during fall and winter, while remaining safe.
In his report to the Board, Executive Director Tim Schaeffer reminded anglers that while there are often fewer people on the water during the cold weather months, conditions are still fantastic for many popular gamefish species across the Commonwealth, including bass, walleye, catfish, wild and stocked trout, and steelhead that are beginning their annual run on the Lake Erie tributaries. Schaeffer asked anglers, boaters, and hunters to keep safety in mind and to always wear a life jacket while boating, ice fishing, and waterfowl hunting. From November 1 through April 30, boaters aboard most small boats, including all canoes and kayaks, are required to wear a life jacket.
“Fishing and boating are year-round activities in Pennsylvania, and that means being prepared for every season,” added Schaeffer. “Falling into cold water can be extremely dangerous, and even deadly, but wearing a life jacket will keep your head above water until help arrives. So, have a great time on the water and ice this upcoming season — just remember that a few safety steps before and during each trip will ensure that you’ll be around to make more great memories for years to come.”
Schaeffer also announced that applications are currently being accepted for the PFBC’s Boating Facility Grant Program, Erie Access Improvement Grant Program, and Clean Vessel Act Grant Program. Applications for all three programs are due by December 30, 2022. Information on each program, including application materials, can be found on the PFBC website (Fishandboat.com). Read more……
