It's that time of year when the bucks and does are chasing, or running from, each other rather "blindly". Use extra caution when traveling during dusk, dawn, and the overnight. Check your speed, use high beam headlights when possible, and don't swerve at higher speeds.

Saturday morning looks to be a bit "chilly". Plan on dressing in layers if you're going to be outdoors, and if there're any outdoor plants you want to salvage a bit longer you might want to take precautions.
