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.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

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.
