Answer 2

Answer: Autumn

Explanation:

• During autumn season the deer engage in fierce mating battles and this is known as rutting activity .

• During the rutting season i.e in autumn the sexually mature males are very active and roam outside their territory.

• Their rut activity is at peak during the three hours after dawn and before dusk.

• The rutting season lasts from October to December.

• At this time , the chances of accidentally killing the deers by driving is also very high and it is evident that the number of accidents increase in the autumn season.
