What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHere it is, the story we hinted at: New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection warned drivers Friday to expect more white-tailed deer on the roads in the mornings and evenings.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhy now? Is there a reason the deer are suddenly everywhere?

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPrime season. The state says bucks are trying to court does, and apparently they're not watching traffic while they do it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh, love is in the air. That's a beautiful thing, and I just hope everybody is safe out there.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentVera, a deer in love just walked into a Jersey highway at dusk. That's the worst date spot in America.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, they have no restaurants to choose from.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThey do, there's a diner every four feet. The buck just needs a reservation and a better pickup line than headlights.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHeadlights?

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEvery buck out there is staring right at you, dead still, thinking he's got a shot. He doesn't, and neither do you.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the advice is slow down, stay alert, and give the poor romantics some room. Honestly, they're just trying their best.
