Caution For Drivers As Deer Rut Season Begins |
Deer rut season typically runs from around this time of the season through December. It's important to be cautious on area roadways as deer may experience behavioral changes, and could quickly dart out into oncoming traffic with little notice. It's also important to stay clear of the deer population and avoid approaching them if they are nearby.
Also, as a friendly reminder, the feeding of deer is prohibited in the City of Lakeway. Deer corn and other food provided by humans can be an unhealthy alternative to their normal diet. It also causes deer to congregate in more populated areas, leading to the potential for damage to area properties and a hazard for drivers. CLICK HERE for some more helpful information.
