Deer overpass.

[JayinMN]

It looks like some deer have found a safer way to cross the highway.

that is one smart deer! good luck.

Now I 'spose we'll have to get more of the overpasses. Would save on accidents!

But what would it cost to have them all trained? seriously though, nice timing.

When I was doing some work in Appleton we saw a herd of deer running across a railroad bridge.

That's great!

What a coincidence, I just stumbled across a story about plans to build a wildlife overpass in Colorado then I see this picture. Apparently an international contest was held to design a highway wildlife crossing near Vail Colorado. If this one works well I’m sure they will become a necessity all over the country. Sounds look a good way to spend tax dollars (sarcasm). I’m all for protecting people and animals but there must be a cheaper way. Anyway it is a cool capture and a smart deer. If anyone wants to read the story copy and paste this is your favorite search engine. “international contest to design a highway wildlife crossing near Vail’

Wouldn't an underpass be more successful. Like a cattle run?

[JayinMN]

Its interesting that they want to build an over passes versus a underpass. A lot of places have already put in under passes. Can you imagine driving under a herd of elk? There were actually 5 deer that crossed over this bridge but by the time I pulled over and got the camera out of its bag only one was left.

Another shot.

Actually two in that last photo Jay

LOL, you should send pics to Jay Leno as to how smart our deer are.:>)

[pureinsanity]

I see two deer as well!

but by the time I pulled over and got the camera out of its bag only one was left on the bridge.

Fixed it for ya.
