Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds motorists to be on the lookout for migrating wildlife.

Fall is breeding season for elk, deer and moose, and males will pursue mates aggressively and may not be inhibited by traffic.

In addition, as they migrate from their summer to winter range, wildlife is more active but less visible during this time of year. Daylights-saving time ends Nov. 2.

Because bears are especially active during fall as they prepare for hibernation, collisions are more likely, especially at dusk and dawn. Wildlife officials advise motorists to reduce their speed, follow nighttime speed limits in migration corridors and be alert of their surroundings.
