A photo I snapped during my recent trip

My home town of Prince Rupert has always had a lot of wild life around, but much of it, especially deer, have been moving more and more into the city.

Here's a photo I took across the street from my Dad's house-

Thankfully I can usually stick to the main roads, but there are some streets around here (Twin Cities) where you really have to drive carefully, especially at night, or you run the risk of having a bunch of deer charging straight at your car.  Most of the time you can just stop driving and they'll meander across the road in peace, but sometimes they get the crazy idea in mind of making a mad dash just as a car is going past, and end up crashing right into the side of the vehicle.

That's a great picture.

That's a nice pic.  Your dad's neighbor needs to amend his sign to include deer.

Nice pic.  I like how they're all standing next to the "no dogs" sign.

I used to go riding a lot in a stretch of mountain roads called Angeles Crest in So. Cal, and I recall this one guy who just hit a deer on his motorcycle rode up to the hang out spot.  Amazing he was still walking and stuff, but the real thing that stuck in my mind was when he showed us his bike -- it still had bunch of deer fur stuck between the fairings on the bike.

Nice picture, we got a lot of deer here as well. One time I saw 21 of them at the same time. Crazy.

at least the deer are in compliance with the sign

Deer have an innate instinct that tells them the only way to escape death is to cross the road in front of the vehicle.  Once on the way to school a deer raced the school bus for almost a mile and looked like it was dying of exhaustion when the driver finally slowed down so the deer could overtake the bus and cross in front of us.

Great pic, for the reason everyone has stated already ("No Dogs!")

Haha, poor thing.

We also have a lot of large families of geese who like to plod across the road in long single-file lines, an adult or two leading the way, an adult or two in the rear, and a long string of chicks in between.  The larger flocks can back up traffic quite a long way as they make their gradual exodus, especially when one of the chicks stupidly decides to stop walking and just stand there.  Even the adult geese get pissed about this, it's hilarious.

Geese are some of the craziest animals alive. Those things get PISSED OFF at ANYTHING! They really have mad thoughts running around in their brains.

That's what I love about them. We humans have been encroaching on their turf and they're fed up. They're not going to take it anymore. Good for them!

I hate geese.  They are not natural to Colorado, yet they are all over the place because people feed them!  And what do they offer in return?  Parks where it is hard to take a single step due to all of the goose-droppings.  They need to die.  I always chase them or throw things at them.  I want to poison their food.  Geese are not pretty.  The population definitely needs trimming.

I'd still rather feed a goose than a homeless person, though.

During the drive up there, my mother(driving in a seperate vehicle) hit a Canadian Goose that was running all over the highway.
