It's flipped because you posted it from your phone. Don't know why but see a lot of that on another forum.

Deer ravaged my veg garden last night. Ate the tops off the tomato plants and ate ALL of my lettuces. DAMMIT!

On the bright side they're turning your veggies into venison.

The deer population this year has really exploded - at least in my neck of the woods. Over the last few months, I've counted four different mama deer with two babies each, and two bucks wandering around my property. If I wanted to, I could bag one or three from my front or back porch just about any day.

Of course, deer hunting season doesn't start here until October 13 . . . I'm just sayin'.

That's OK, they'll be fatter by then.

A deer visited my parents' place in DC a couple of weeks back. They're at least 7 blocks from the nearest place deer could live (ie a wooded park of reasonable size).

I should get a picture of our tree in the back yard. The branches hang all the way down to the ground, but were stripped bare one day last week from the ground up to about 4-5 feet by a deer. It's pretty remarkable.

The deer didn't touch my blueberry plants, thankfully.

Deer ate some of my ghost pepper plant while I was away...

We think of a wooded park as habitat for them but as long as they can find something to eat/drink and don't feel they are threatened, they can live anywhere.

Happy Monkey · 07-24-2018, 02:22 PM

It's a city; everything that isn't wooded park is street and lawn. They can wander it, especially at night, but they need to be able to go somewhere when the people come back out.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-24-2018, 02:30 PM

True, but they can cover a lot of ground in a short time. Also if the milkman or someone out early spots them, not likely to freak out like if was a bear or coyote or something bitey.
Maybe the deer are renting an apartment close by.

I almost hit a deer in my neighborhood yesterday. I wasn't even going fast. Maybe 25? I saw it out of the corner of my eye running along side me and veering toward of me. I knew there was no car behind me so I stepped on the brake, and it veered harder at me, so I stepped harder. The fucking thing finally got me to panic brake by cutting directly in front of me just in front of my bumper.

I saw a nopedeer the other evening. I saw her running toward the road, when she got into the outside edge of my headlights, she said "Nope.", and made the laziest u-turn back into the field, without changing her gait whatsoever.
