Ever hunt under an Overpass?

Meth buck. Lookin to score some Four Loko or Colombian bang bang

My stepdad used to run dogs in the tv towers north of Shreveport when it was legal to hunt any land that wasn’t posted. They had a big box culvert under Hwy 1. He said they ran a big buck for several weeks that kept slipping away. Someone saw tracks under the road and set up there the next weekend and wound up killing the buck trying to go under the road.

So anything is possible I guess.

No but drop me a pin and I would sit there between 730 and 930 for several days!!!

Out west they make animal routes

I watched a herd of Elk running along the highway flanking me and thought I'd have to put on the brakes but there was a wildlife underpass they went through.

I had never heard of that.

No. Upper East US.

I used to hunt a spot near an overpass and I would walk in the woods a couple hundred yards and typically didn’t see anything. I finally figured out that the majority of the deer were moving within 100 yards of the overpass. Started seeing and killing more deer when I moved closer to it. The neighboring landowners made it too difficult to get to that spot these days though.

No but I put my camera under one, next thing I knew it was 5ft under water.

Ruined it

Many of big bucks have bed down in the interstate median strips

Alberta and British Columbia created dozens of Animal Overpasses which allow the animals to stay off the Interstates and recreate a pathway for Wolves, Bears, Elk, Moose, Cougars, Big Horn Sheep, wolverines, porcupines, badgers, etc. The price tags to build them in Alberta were a couple million dollars per underpass or overpass.

But they paid off quickly because they were enormously cost effective as they dramatically reduced the number of automobile accidents, injuries, and deaths per year in the areas they were put in place and lowered wildlife fatalities by 96%. In British Columbia there is approximately one large animal--vehicle collision every 4-8 hours depending on the location in the province.

The underpass they built in Yoho National Park in BC has the highest density of wildlife crossings anywhere in the world.

Banff has six overpasses and 38 underpasses dedicated to animal crossings. Grizzly bears, wolves, elk, moose and deer prefer crossing structures that are high, wide and short in length, while black bears and cougars tend to prefer long, low and narrow underpasses.
