If you try the product John pointed out, please *DO* come back and

deer sausage.........yum!

A neighbor informed me today that one of his best friends is a cop who
lives
right around the corner. Theoretically, this cop may have a way of
cancelling the police response to a gunshot report, if he knows about
it
ahead of time. I don't believe it, but there are 3 deer who think my
tomato
plants and daylillies are salads.....

I have a really good feelin' about this.

I don't.

However, I may pay a visit to the town supervisor and discuss another
idea.
Every so often, in another part of town where there's a huge wooded park,
they do a "controlled hunt", using "expert hunters" (fellas who wear long
sleeve plaid flannel shirts with mismatched suspenders in summer) to thin
the deer herd because nearby residents complain that their plants, trees
and
cars are being eaten. I live 6 blocks from an identical park area. Why
not
thin the herd here? We get our plants back (for a while), as well as a
plaid
parade.

I don't know. Red plaid makes a pretty good target. Juast ask Veep
Cheney.

Hey...we love the plaids. They put on a great show. Last time my son and I
went to the gun club (youth .22 rifle league), some kid made the mistake of
asking a question about his rifle, and he was set upon by about a dozen
plaids. All had multiple spare tires, mismatched suspenders, and flannel
shirts. And, this is a city, not out in the sticks. It's like a uniform for
these guys.
