It’s rutting season on #CannockChase here in #Staffordshire and we’re reminding people driving through the area to be careful on the roads.
#Deer will try to cross the roads so to avoid collisions, please slow down and be prepared to stop.
Don't forget to tune in with @bengodfrey1 tonight on @bbcmtd, to find out about how you can avoid collisions with deer.
Our rangers at #CannockChase are working hard to keep deer safe, particularly as it's rutting season and so the deer are much more active.
Tonight: Protecting fallow deer at Cannock Chase after five recent vehicle collisions during rutting season. More @bbcmtd 6.30pm (CCTV via @StaffordshireCC shows a reflector/sound deterrent when a car approaches)
Great to welcome @bengodfrey1 from @bbcmtd to #CannockChase for some filming of the fallow deer.
It’s rutting season and the deer move around the park much more frequently, so we’re reminding drivers to slow down and take extra care.
@Nikolaj_Bi The deterrents are the version 3 Gamewarner devices that detected vehicles approaching and transmit a signal to all the other units along the road. This sets off an acoustic sound and strobing LED lights intermittently. We r monitoring how fallow interact with the warning system

@SethJamesDeMoor Hi Seth, is it possible to look at or suggest the fastest stability shoes for races? Can’t seem to find a good stability racing shoe. plenty of neutral racing shoes out there, but for us over pronators not much in the so called fast racing department 👍
As we approach the autumn deer rut, when many of the UK’s 2 million deer are on the move, it's been estimated that up to 74,000 deer are struck by vehicles every year #DeerAware#Whattodoifyouhitadeer@THINKgovuk@JoLangb @HighwaysEngland @RSPCA_official https://t.co/GBaZv0oeIq
