Eventually, you may have no choice but a fence or a gun. 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. -- Billy 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. Seriously, get a bow. It's quiet, short range, and the perfect solution. Only do it during deer season, with the proper license (i.e. in the winter), and follow all the regulations. The health benefits from the meat are great, it's much better than un- naturally raised meat. Short of that, get a dog and an electric fence, if you have the temperament to go for walks and take care of a dog. |
