FIVE of them across the road, feeding on the buds / twigs of apple
trees. That's more at one time than I've ever seen before.

I was hoping the harsh winter would have hit them hard. Perhaps
some fool has been feeding them?

I chased 5 of them out of the back yard this morning.
I too hoped winter might have knocked a few off. My wife won't let me
hunt them and it is illegal to hunt within 200 yards of an occupied
residence.

With all the snow, they have been particularly hard on ivy around my house:

I have a herd of five (white tail) that are regulars.
They don't even wait for dusk anymore.

I'm not *trying* to feed them. I discovered this winter that they
can eat from my bird feeder. This is the year that I put up deer
fencing on the vegetable garden. Unfortunately, that leaves all
the ornamentals for them to eat.
