This woman called a radio station in ND and asked that the department of transportation give consideration to moving the deer crossing signs.  Well, you have to hear it from her.  She makes a pretty good argument.  Get on it folks.     ;D

She probably votes too.  Wow!!     :D

First of all the state needs to ensure the deer can read, that is a government responsibility. Second, the deer have to understand that changing their routes are a choice they must make to ensure their well being. Wait a minute, this could turn into a political discussion. :D

Maybe two  :D. 

They obviously encourage deer to cross, at least in North Dakota and Minnesota.  These Georgia deer are not so well behaved  :).  They just cross where ever in the heck that it suits them.  But then again, we are all a little wild down here.

A friend sent me the MP3 of the interview - we had a big laugh.

Yesterday afternoon we had three of them that must not be able to read because they came out under a blind and ended up riding to the butcher house in a truck (if you know what I mean). They were mature Does and in my world that means 9 deer likely not grazing next summer.

My cousin from California visited us up here in the U P when we were both a LOT younger, on our ride to camp we pasted a dear crossing sign and he asked if we could stop and watch.
If it can't be nailed or glued then screw it

Some of those Georgia deers that WDH talks about seem to have made their way to North Carolina. I even hit one of them years ago in Michigan. My wife was a literacy facilitator for years. Maybe we need to get her a federal grant to teach those varmits..........

Same goes for the moose. One of them in through the windshield and you have no chance.  :-\

Paul,

I think that you are right.  These Georgia deer are illiterate.

Have a great day

This situation reminds me of a newspaper article in the local paper this past spring.  It was about turning your clocks ahead for Daylight Savings Time, and a comments section contained various people complaining about "losing an hour."  One lady commented that she was most upset because her flowers needed that extra hour of sun.   

Say when

I want one too. but I need the words "Only between 9 AM and 11 AM" added to the sign. That way I can sleep in in the morning and also get back out of the woods in time for lunch.

In all seriousness......Jeff, knowing how to build websites and such......get some signs printed up and you could probably sell A BUNCH of these signs online to people who believe deer can read. $$$$$$$$$

You silly people, everyone, including the lady in the video, know that deer can't read. That is why the signs have a picture of a deer on the signs. It also helps for the people that can't read. ;)

Well I knew someone would figure out the logic behind the signs. :D

We have a bear crossing sign here on a trail at the cabin, and this week there was a big pile of Bear scat right under it.  :)

Well I just had an idea, seeing how this is all working out so well I'm gonna get somebody who can draw and have them make me a sign of cattle loading on a truck!  I think this would look swell at the bottom of my loading chute  ;D

I think she makes perfect sense.  What's wrong with you people!
