The deer are on the move as the peak of the rut is coming close. Deer can be seen in all areas, not just in the county, but in town also. More and more deer are being reported in the city limits of Ottawa recently. With the deer on the move, more crashes occur, and according to Franklin County Sheriff Jeff Richards, it doesn’t matter what time of the day it is…
Franklin County has seen 29 reported vehicle deer collisions so far in November, alone. September had 30, October, 38. So, we are well on our way to a record setting month. Please be careful and aware and remember, if you see one, there are most likely others in the area.
