I'm making this a sticky entry.
I have something to ask of all U.S. residents: take a picture of a deer crossing sign in your state and send it to me (or post it on Flickr and give me the link). Oh yeah, and don't forget to tell me where (in which state) you took the picture. WI people especially - I
need a picture of your deer crossing signs. Chicago people? Next time you're up there, like at the Dells or something, find a deer crossing sign and take a picture, please. And yanno, while you're up there, you may as well take a picture of the "Bong Recreation Area" sign, too. Just because, well... it's funny.
Here's an example of a "normal" deer crossing sign, as we're all used to seeing: [
here]. WI signs look different (well, at least they used to).
A-HA! There is least one other blogger who's noticed that WI deer crossing signs are different [
read post]. See? I'm not crazy. But, we still need a sign as proof.
And yanno what? I think a lot of people are having fun with this, so... what the hell... let's make a collection of any kind of crossing sign that's funny. Bear crossing. Deer crossing. Illegal immigrant crossing. And not just crossing signs. Falling rock signs are usually pretty funny. We'll get a collection together, and I'll make a bigass post, and we'll all have a bunch of laughs.

I don't have a photo, but in Oregon this weekend, we saw a typical Deer sign, but instead, it said "Elk" with no illustration. Like they couldn't find someone to illustrate it. Odd stuff.

There used to be one between Madison and Milwaukee (WI) that had a red dot stuck to the nose. I'll have to pass it later this week and see if it's still there...

Does Armadillo Crossing count?

I have a pictures of the Ho Chunk Casino sign in the Dells. I don't know why, but makes me laugh every time I drive by it.

I'm not sure if you "need" to have the actual pictures from a person, to do whatever it is you are doing, but you could obtain images of these signs by looking for the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) for each state. Each state normally publishes it's own MUTCD, which correlates with the FHWA's (Federal Highway Administration) MUTCD.
Just an option

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan & I constantly see deer crossing signs. There aren't too many areas you can drive up here without one of the dirty bastards jumping out in front of you. It's very possible I may be able to come up with Cow, Turkey, and Duck Crossing signs, too.

Will a moose crossing sign work? Apparently that's what we have up here in Maine -- moose.

nah, that's not it, either. it was definitely a deer crossing.
maybe they've changed their signs? i dunno. all i know is that WI, at the very least,
used to have fat deer crossing signs. i'm still looking...
