Deer Crossing Signs
I have seen a vehicle parked close to some of these sign but for the most part they seem useless. There is a lot of political whining to get the State here to put one up, and then in some cases there is only one sign that is seen by traffic.
But maybe I was unaware of the real purpose of these signs? Here is a live radio call in recording that will help us all understand the real function of these signs. Enjoy And so sorry if this has already been posted. Deer Crossing sign's;

Seen it, but it's worth the time.
Let us pray that she does not attend a wildlife agency's public hearing on the subject of hunting. She's as bad as a teeny-bopper Sierra Club type at an environmental hearing. |

Years ago, I was assigned to Wurtsmuth AF Base, Michigan and didn't know where to hunt. So I bought a map of Huron Nat'l Forest and planned to do some scouting. The first area I checked was about 50 yards past a deer crossing sign where I found a heavily used deer trail. I followed the trail about 1.5 miles to the edge of a swamp and built a crude ground blind. A month later, I shot a dandy 6 point buck with my 35 Remington rifle.
Deer crossing signs are good places to scout! Jack

Silly question. Deer can't read.
Those signs are there only for target practice. |

I gotta go with Jack O'conner. I did the same thing at a State park I wanted to hunt. I have driven out west and judging by the riddled signs, Pa. has better shooters.

I often pondered,
Why don't people at least have good groups on those signs? Since most are permanent, they should have a shot group you could be proud of.

Hmmmm, our signs don't seem to get shot that often. Normally they either get spray paint tagged or just plain run over.

How do they get the deer to cross at those signs anyway?
