• DEEP Advises Motorists to Watch for Deer and Moose Along Roadways

  (HARTFORD) — Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) reminds motorists to be aware of the potential for increased deer and moose activity along roadways during fall months, especially during early morning and evening hours. September through October is peak breeding season for Connecticut's small moose population, which mainly resides in the northern part of the state. The breeding season (also known as "the rut") for white-tailed deer runs from late October through late December. Moose and deer are particularly active during the breeding season and are therefore more likely to attempt road crossings at this time of year.
