Giant rats. I am NOT advocating this in any way, and disclaim any consequence of even bringing it up, but it is my understanding that leaving a pan of anti-freeze near the flowerbed will solve the problem. Does anyone else have any insight into this or other extermination techniques?

Sounds like wasteful vandalism to me.... Does no one in this area hunt?

that is not only illegal, it also poisons peoples pets and is a very cruel way a animal to die since it destroys the kidneys.

try buying cougar or coyote piss from a trapping supply company

Don't do it! Dogs and cats will both drink antifreeze, and it's a pretty nasty death, destroying the kidneys.

Where I live, they apparently researched what flowers are not deer attractive and plant those. The other thing they do is plant small posies that they then cover with a mesh so they can get sun and water but the deer can't get their snout into it without getting a faceful or mesh.

Doesn't help the deer population issue (plenty other stuff for them to munch on) but it does keep your garden intact.

That would be a terrible way to kill a deer, and your neighbors dogs and cats ...

If there are so many bleeding heart UNnaturalists living in an area that they cannot manage the deer population through sensible conservation (i.e., Hunting) then they deserve to have their tulips eaten.

The good news, from an UNnaturalist perspective, is that when the deer population gets out of hand like that, they are very susceptible to CWD, and the slow horrible deaths that result ... but that sure beats having those icky men with bows and guns around to kill the deer and donate the venison to homeless shelters ...
