It's that time of year again.

State Police are reminding motorists to be on the lookout for deer as they begin to migrate from fields to wooded areas and to area roadways.

Last year, 1,205 vehicles were involved in deer collisions within the State Police Evansville district, which covers Warrick, Vanderburgh, Gibson, Knox, Posey and Pike Counties.

Pike County had 100 vehicle-deer accidents in 2008 involving three injuries. Knox County had 171 with three injuries.

Police advise motorists to use extra caution at dawn and dusk, as these are times when deer travel most frequently.

Always scan the sides of country and rural roads and use high beam headlights when possible.

And, if you see one deer, it's likely there are others close by so slow down.
