The more logging the more deer are blamed on for the problem. The true
problem is logging federal public land does not increase forest health but
make parts of the once fertile forest to appear as pathogens. We are the
pathogens.

help!! besides a fence...how do i keep the derr from eating my small
trees and plants. i use liquid fence but that is sooo expensive. plus
after a watering or rain, it's all gone.

is there a home remedy...some type of organic tea that i could brew to
put on stuff or around it to keep the deer away. they are even going
after "deer resistant" plants these days.

Best I can tell, the nearest "federal public land" is around 175-190
miles from here. I rather doubt that the vermin eating my garden are
either refugees from there or that the condition of that federal land
is germane to the issue.

Deer are genetically adapted to heavy predation and fluctuations in
food supply. In a suburb filled with soft-headed bambi lovers and
succulent vegetation that is missing any form of predator other than
the occasional SUV, they will breed until they are thick as flies.

If you have, as I do, a moron living nearby that feeds the damned
things 40# bags of corn, the only answer is venison. Unfortunately,
achieving that is a little hard in suburbia.
