The NYS Police and Thruway Authority issued their twice-yearly "antler alert" for Westchester County.

Police say deer become more active and are more frequently present along the roadside in May and June. Most deer-vehicle collisions on the Thruway occur May through June and October through November, according to the Thruway Authority and the State Police Troop T.

There were 2,000 deer-vehicle incidents along the Thruway in 2012.
