I think the difference in time of day between the two outlined areas to be intriguing as well. The time of day is split up in 4 hour intervals starting at 0600 for Morning.
The calving cycle sees a higher number of collisions between 1800 and 2200 whereas the mating cycle has a higher collision rate during the afternoon hours 1400-1800.
I would be interested to see how that compares to sunset times, but I’m not quite sure how to visualize that on top of what I already have here.

You could do a line chart with a Y axis of 1200-000 at the geographic center of Wisconsin.

I see. I’ll have to learn how to add that on top of my graph. I have an idea.

Trivial, but cows, elk, and moose calve. In deer it's more appropriately called a fawning season.

That’s what I thought. I saw calving on an online paper with a quick Google so that’s what I went with.

Also, for the sunris/sunset times (both are important), you can use the right y-axis and have it go from 0-24hrs.
I'll think on it and post an idealized image tomorrow.

I was just putzing around with that. There’s definitely a trend that follows sunrise sunset throughout the year.

Data was acquired from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The data was wrangled and cleaned in RStudio where it was also visualized.
I have finished my first class in a Data Science Program and decided to put my newfound skills to the test.

This would be a great post to put in r/wisconsin

She’s already up on the fridge over there!
I have a few more visualizations I’d like to do. Next one is going to be a temporal map that shows individual collisions throughout the year. They’re really going to like that one.

calving? last i checked deers have fawns
solid graph though, data checks out with... experience.

interesting, seems the source that graph is pulled from is for "Horses, Deer, and Camelids" aka camels. Camel babies are called calves, so they just slapped that term in this? odd

I think it’s an ungulate thing

Don’t call my brother that, the PC term is hoofed.

I wonder if hunting also impacts time of day

Do all forest ungulates mate around the same time?
YarrowBeSorrel OP t1_izhgla4 wrote
That I do not know. I only speak for the trees.

So, either OP is really unlucky, drives really bad or during these seasons deer are easier to find and hit.

May I suggest a different color scheme? Light yellow for noon, going to red for the afternoon, purple for evening, dark blue for midnight and then lighter shades of blue for closing to morning, and yellow for early day?
It would be more intuitive.

This color scheme was chosen as its color blind safe. I can toy around with your idea too.

This is really cool. As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I can attest that it's well known in the area to use extreme caution when driving in November.
