Signs for everyone to read and heed

Keep the camera handy, because you never know when photos like this will fall right into your hands.  As baseball Hall of Famer Lefty Gomez often said, "I'd rather be lucky than good."

 The turkey picture seemed so perfect, it was even suggested that it was set up using a stuffed turkey.

Visiting Pymatuning State Park in northwest Pennsylvania, I saw a wild turkey sauntering down the street. Cars were passing within feet of it, but it continued on, and I continued taking pictures. Then, it stopped right in front of this no hunting sign--perfect. This isn't the same picture that ran in the Daily Record (the turkey was looking at the camera).

Two weeks, later, in Benezette, Pa.-- the Elk View Diner's big picture window opens to an area where the owners put down some corn for the deer. They even posted "Deer food only". And to have fun with the many tourists there, the owners added a stuffed coyote--it might still be there.  When one of the regular elk showed up to eat the deer food, it made for an interesting combination of critters.  The picture in the Daily Record showed the elk looking at the camera.

Both pictures were taken years ago. In you're interested, the Elk View Diner is on Winslow Hill Road. Nice people there. Good food too.

The Game Commission stops by occasionally and mentions that it's illegal to feed the many elk that are there. But as the owners insist, is it their fault that the elk are illiterate?
