Cashisking: Where I live I am constantly avoiding "critters" on the road!
I am talking from small birds and Ground Squirrels to Elk and Moose.
In the past year I have had to avoid many dozens of creatures including Antelope, Mule Deer and Whitetailed Deer - I had to wait for a Skunk to get out of the middle of my drive earlier this week - arrogant little pest would not yield the right of way as I wanted to get by.
There is a stretch of I-15 very near my home here in SW Montana where the Deer cross so heavily in the fall/early winter that they bring in solar powered electronic billboard signs warning drivers of their crossings.
I have seen as many as a dozen carcass's in a two mile stretch here - and the D.O.T. comes and removes the carcass's rather often!
Sad that so many creatures get crushed by vehicles.
I choose to drive much slower than the speed limits and other drivers especially at night!
Hold into the wind
