Drivers in Alabama are getting a costly reminder to look out for deer.
Officials with State Farm, Alabama's largest auto insurer say there were almost 29,000 insurance claims connected to deer collisions from July 2015 to the end of June.
The company says one in 135 Alabama drivers are likely to hit a deer, a figure that's higher than the national odds of one in 164.
The national cost per claim average is $3,995.
Officials say the months a driver is most likely to collide with a deer in Alabama are October-December. State Farm recommends drivers take precautions to avoid hitting deer, such as paying attention to deer crossing signs and using high beams when possible.
