Last week on Vacation to St George Island Fl. we saw number of these signs on Highway 98. I was just wondering how yall get the bears to cross at the signs??? Maybe we can teach the deer in Ms. to follow suit.

Re: Bear Crossing Signs

Deer and bear (and many other wildlife) think those signs are really target identification signs. That is why they cross elsewhere.

You might notice that you never see those signs with pictures of armadillos

Re: Bear Crossing Signs

why is it when you're sitting in the wood, up on a tree, in full camo gears, bathed in scent cover, trying your best not to show yourself, make any noise or fart. :D The damn thing will run away from you at the very first sign of any little disturbance. But, when you're driving down the road with loud engine noise, exhaust pipe, music blarring and it will just standing there and play chicken with you?
