Deer Crossing
Woman must have been reading those Michigan signs. Maybe she figured it wasn't a good idea to have those educated deer around. They may read signs but you know none of them have insurance.
Maybe a political leader could come to the fore and initiate some legislation. Deer must carry evidence of insurance or they can't be on a road. Yep, seems like that would cure all sorts of problems, and just think of the employment for deer police it'd create.

Deer Crossing
peters; I think in Michigan that farmers can get permits to shoot the deer that are destroying their crops as well. My home is right against a major metro park north of Detroit. The DNR ( I have a few choice acronyms ) says there should be about 700 deer here and I think after their last aerial count there is about 2000. They started doing archery hunts in the park. I love to sit on my deck and heckle the pitas.  . Its pretty darn discourageing to come home from deer camp and have a 170 class 12 point eating out of your bird feeder 15' from the deck. I have a 500 # Black bear on my property up north who is a ornry cuss and lives in the cedar draw. Lets gather them PITA folks up and point em to the swamp for a protest....they can push the bucks out.

Deer Crossing
Here in the great state of Indiana, we have in place legeslation that require ALL deer to wear small apparatus on thier heads that make a high pitched whistle to warn unsusspecting motorists of thier presence. We call them Car Whistles.
The deer can purchase them at any Wal-mart or auto parts store.
The problem seems to be the fact that the deer are a little strapped for cash and the $1.98 is out of thier price range.
New legislation was passed to give the deer this $1.98, however it has also been ineffective because the deer keep getting hit on their way to register for the giveaway.
This seems like the proverbial chicken and the egg problem. I'll keep you posted.

And so a surviving deer got so depressed by the situation that he walked into a bar and with a mournful voice said 'I'll have a double, no a triple and neat.' The bartender says 'Gee, why the long face?" I think I've got to stop this.

Forget crossing guards! In Alabama this crossing sounds like a good place for a stand!

Don't know what the lady was worried about - I've never seen a deer or a moose cross near the signs when I'm ready for them, its always miles later.

Peters Rubber Population Control Devices comment gave me a better idea.
How 'bout we dress the PETA people up in doe costumes, spray them LIBERAL'ly (pun intended) with doe sent and tie them out during the rut, I think a 12 point buck or two might teach them something about 'Ethical Treatment'...
Around here the DOT people came up with a marvelously bureaucratic 'solution', in areas of heavy deer concentration they are clearing the brush back a long way from the highway so the motorists can see the deer from further away.
It works great too, now the motorists hit each other instead of the deer because now they're watching all those cute little deer browsing in the open area next to the highway, instead of watching where they're driving, now that's progress. The deer get fed & entertained.
Best of luck.

Funny this topic came back up. I was hee-hawing with a couple of guys about road kills and of course my brothers name came up. His idea has been to mount a bale spear on the front of his pick up and go hunting...
