He weighs in at up to 14 kilograms, but thanks to his enormous feet shaped almost like snowshoes, looks as though he is floating on air as he ambles along the snow.
His legs are long and powerful, his coat is thick and grey, and the patches of fur that frame his face look like the kind of beard sported by aristocrats.

I think its a cool idea as long as I don’t have to pay for it. The cost of teaching all those animals to read must be enormous.

A number of years ago on one of my pheasant hunting trips to N.W. Kansas, we encountered an early snowfall one night. The next day, while hunting along a section of railroad tracks, I came across the tracks of a bobcat that was actually walking along one of the rails for at least a quarter of a mile......then it broke off and went into the woods. That was cool......

If that photo of the wildlife overpass is accurate then I have no problem with their construction. The alternative of course would be vehicular collisions equaling what is happening here in Michigan.

I think we need to allow more deer permits and maybe even give the out of state crowd a break on the cost.

There are several of those wildlife bridge corridors on the highway. The wildlife, elk, moose, you name it are funneled
with high fencing to the bridges. Before they were built, you took you life in your hands driving that road.

“If that photo of the wildlife overpass is accurate then I have no problem with their construction.”
From the article: “Its hefty price tag wildlife mitigation measures are estimated to account for nearly one-third of the $310-million cost of the Trans-Canada Highway twinning project from Castle Junction to the B.C. border alone”.
I have problems, cash problems with such problems. Sell hunting permits until the herds are thinned. Tax reduction and fee bonanza.
Hundred Million Dollar Photo - nauseating!
