There's not a deer crossing sign in the South that hasn't been shot up.

Their scope appears to be sighted high and to the left......

Assuming they are right eye dominant, they are probably pulling their heads up and not following thru on the shot.

Naw, they're recoil shy! You can they're not Southern Boys, We can shoot.

And I thought it was a right handed shooter with either a mean trigger jerk or a breathing problem.

i'm new here, but i'll fill ya in on the real problem, being from NC. They're drunk. Enough said.

We sure enough have our share of mean trigger jerks around here. 'Course they usually shoot from close range, so it matters very little...

I grew up in a small farming community in SW Ohio, near hunting season any sign becomes fair game for target practice. That is: ANY sign :jump

Naturally, the deer crossing signs suffer the worse.

Surprisingly, in about 40 years, I have never heard of anyone being shot.

Doctari.

You still see plenty of signs shot up, but I think not so many as you did years ago. Another part of America's cultural heritage down the drain because of the anti gun lobby.
The poor marksmanship in the picture might also be due to the shooter being drunk, in a moving car, or both. It looks like a shotgun to me, loaded with 00.
This would make it even poorer marksmanship
