What does the bumper sticker depicting something akin to a deer-crossing sign mean? The sticker looks like a deer-crossing sign except that instead of a deer, some other deer-like animal is depicted (springbox? ibex? impala?). I have seen the sticker with regularity on cars in eastern states.

Jackalope?

Without an image of the sticker in question, it's hard to say...

It may be a jackalope. I have no image of the sticker, but it is exactly like a deer-crossing sign with some other animal instead of a deer. I have googled extensively, and cannot even find an image of the sticker.

Moose?

No. It's not a moose. It's an elegant deer-like leaping animal.

Is it perhaps the antelope sticker that I've seen some phish fans sport? There's a song entitled, "Run Like an Antelope.

I bet the same cars have dancing bear stickers.

You are close! That's close! In the sticker I've seen, however, the antelope is more elegant-looking. It's belly is not white like the antelope in the sticker to which you have pointed me. This is close, though. And, I do live in Vermont and would tend to see Phish stickers with some frequency.

As allthewhile suggests, it's a Phish sticker. It references the song Run Like an Antelope from the album Lawn Boy.

It's an Antelope, from the Phish song "Run Like an Antelope"

what everyone else said about the Phish song, Run Like an Antelope.

There are also t-shirts meant to look like John Deere logo that are references to the same song.

kellygreen, you may also see a pig with wings sticker in a similar design around your area. That is a reference to the moe. song Buster.
