The deer who frolic in this neighborhood are wonderful creatures. They mind their manners, many look both ways before they cross the street, and enjoy being near us friendlies. There are people who've found ways to stop the deer from sampling their garden, only to find out it's the CHIPMUNKS who have no respect.

I wish some of the parents around here were as good at parenting as the does are with their fawns. Do I talk to the deer? Yeah, sometimes. <^..^>

Lucky you, you must have a higher class, more intelligent brood of deer in your neighborhood. Chipmunks were once a pest but their gone (combination of hawks, foxes, coyotes and whatever else samples them). I yelled at the deer, even threw water bottles at ‘em, to no avail. Although when I turned the hose on them they would take off.....for a little while. As for spraying the flora with deer repellent, sometimes it worked but to have to reapply it after a heavy rain....forget it (the garden was rather large). I moved and haven’t had them around.....yet.
