This holiday weekend across the state of Wisconsin thousands of people will be traveling to get to their desired location to celebrate the holiday. AAA estimates that 853,000 people will be participating in this travel over Thanksgiving weekend.

There is expected to be a lot of traffic pile-ups throughout the state and it is important to be an alert driver so as to avoid wrecks. Numerous people will be driving with their families in tow so avoiding distractions will become an even harder task.

Last year, during the chaos of Thanksgiving travels, seven people lost their lives. Roughly 90 percent of the 853,000 travelers are expected to be going by motor vehicle.

Deer mating season is fast approaching, and public safety officials are expressing concern over deer-related car accidents.

In 2010, fourteen people in Brown County were killed in deer-related car accidents.  The number of deer-related car accidents increased from 2009 to 2010, and wildlife officials have stated that October-November is one of the two peak times for deer-related car accidents to occur because of mating season.

According to Jeff Pritzl, district wildlife supervisor for the northeast region of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, ”Deer will be on the move literally 24 hours a day in search of a receptive doe who is ready to breed.”
