Oh deer!

Years ago I lived in Seymour CT
ask me what I liked best about living there, and first I will say that we had the greatest neighbors ever!
the second best thing was the wooded backyard
we would see all kinds of creatures, our dog loved to chase them, it was fun!
every morning we would watch a family of deer walk across our back yard
every evening we would see them walk in the other direction.
I used to play MUD games online then and I had my whole group envious with my stories about the deer family LOL

Years later when we were searching for a house, we don't want to say that seeing deer in the yard had something to do with our buying this house, but it wasnt a negative to us, yes I do remember the movie Funny Farm "Que the deer" ROFL

So then they did the route 3 project and the deer stopped coming

well this year they are back

we've seen them several times...havent gotten any decent shots of them yet LOL

I love Deer


but

they eat EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

they ate all my sunflowers *cry*

they didn't even get to grow up, they never got even close to flowers and they are GONE

also I'm thinking they ate the blueberries too

on a good note they eat weeds too

so do I try to plant new sunflowers or just give up>?

:)

tonight I will have the right lens watch the deers not come back :)

They don't particularly like daylillies. I have tons of daylillies LOL But, even though we live smack in the middle of Deer Central, they really don't come into our yard. I guess they have enough food in the soybean fields *rolleyes* I love watching them but they are incredibly destructive.

This will sound weird....but human hair repels them. Seriously. If you know anyone who runs a beauty or barber shop who'd be willing to give you the hair they cut you sprinkle it in your flower beds and they'll leave them alone.
