So what do you think, should we or shouldn't we move those signs?    ::)

  I agree I have a couple miles of road front. I wrote the DNR repeatly that they could  move 4 or 5 of those signs on my road front.

  Remember the one where the lady said why don't you hunters go to wallwart and buy meat like the rest of us.

I started to laugh until I realized this lady is driving around.  Now I'm kinda scared!  Josh

I get some pretty strange requests for signs. A road in the city I work has 10 homes. We got a request for deer crossing signs. The speed limit is 25, the road is about 20 feet wide at its widest point, and it is a dead end.

You can't fix stupid!  I had a meeting with guy one time that had two ponds.  One was at the bottom of a hill, the other was about 100 yards up the hill and 12 feet higher in elevation than the first pond.  I even shot the elevations with a laser level just to make sure.  The guy wanted a ditch from the lower pond to the upper pond so that he could fill the upper pond.  I thought I was mis-understanding him, but he swore up and down that if I put a ditch in between the ponds, water would travel from the low pond, up the hill, to the higher pond.   I finally just walked off...I never could convince him that water would not run uphill.

I think the signs would work just fine if they hired a crosswalk guard to let the deer know when it was safe to cross.

Shoda just dug the ditch. How much was he paying?

  I think I start steeling and put them in place a lot simpler than waiting on the DRN to get around to it.

Used to be a joke in the power plant I worked at as to what it took to be a good steamfitter, all you had to know was that stuff (not the word they used but similar) didn't run uphill and that payday was on Friday.

So..... If I get one of these sings and put it in the back yard...  Will I be able to shoot "more" deer out the bedroom window?
I wonder if the deer could tell if my Deer Crossing sign was homemade and thus ignore it.
