Just heard on the news today that there were 1000 Deer/Car accidents in Iowa last year. This lady has her work cut out for her if she is going to get all those signs moved!

Only 1000??? I'd bet more like 10,000 to 17,000. The curves next to my farm rack up more than 50 a year. The poor deer try to run away by running along the road, and the car makes the turn and hits them from behind.
When I was 6 or 7, I asked my Mom what that sign meant. She said it was a deer crossing sign. Now, to me, that was the same thing as a pedestrian crossing. For years, everytime we got close to that sign, I'd be on the look out for deer. Never saw any and I was very disappointed.
