This time of the year as deer start moving back to summer areas and snow is niching, vegetation is greening up faster along the roadside deer are real susceptible to being hit by lughw ay traffic. T his seems to be a real problem at night when deer are moving more. The D.W.R. would like to urge motorists in the Millard County area or traveling through to be especially alert in traveling the highway along the Scipio Summit, from Lynndyl to Ncphi, from Lynndyl to Eureka, and Kanosh to Beaver on the highw ay these are high concentration areas of migrating deer and there are a lot of deer killed in these aieas, One important fact in highway deaths of deer is the needless deaths can have a big bite in deer populations, because doe deer are pregnant at this time and does carry two fawns. So where these deer arc killed its oltspiing for years and years arc affected and could in certain areas play a big part in management. If you are involved in u cardecr accident notify the local conservation officer or any law enforcement officer so the deer can be removed from the highway before causing other accidents and can be taken care of properly.
