Residents Brace for Deer Problems

I've seen dryer sheets (never use them because can't abide their "fragrance" myself) hanging on fences around gardens. Cheap and fast though.

We have moose here. They lurk in wait until the cabbages are ready for harvest and they come in just before the gardener arrives with his knife and bucket. Clean, bare ground just like nothing was ever there. Every plant. They love cabbage.

That ought to make it easy to find the culprit(s) -- just follow the smell of moose farts!!!

aw, I read that as Residents Brace for Beer Problems

I have had four run-ins with deer in five years. Two of the times were in heavily populated suburban areas of Maryland!

A deer has run into me; and, the last time, I hit a deer square on. So? I drive a '91 Suburban with a winch. The last encounter undoubtedly would have killed me had I been in a subcompact or smaller car.

You venison lovers are just not doing your part!

Someone tell her to order some DeerMinder spray...Deer really hate the stuff....just don't spray on vegetables, because we hate the taste too.

Thanks for your suggestion. We did better than that. We moved. :-)
