Tread With Caution – Every U.S. State’s Deadliest Denizens Finally Revealed
Deer in Minnesota
Minnesota’s white-tailed deer pose a year-round safety risk for motorists due to its large population of approximately one million. Deer vehicle crashes reach their peak during the autumn months. Still, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable and accounted for 15 of the 18 vehicle-deer-related deaths in five years from 2016 to 2020.
The collision risk is compounded by their unpredictable movements and the fact that they are most active during low-light hours. Minnesota’s Department of Natural Resources always urges motorists to remain alert and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas with known deer populations.
