I moved into this new subdivision that use to be horse pasture and is loaded with clover and other edible grasses, it's about eleven acres and only two house are up, mine and an empty one. Because of the market the builder is not going to finish the one or start anymore but he is required by the county to cut it once in awhile, I've been cutting the two acres around mine. In the evenings about the same time I want to work my dogs the deer show up to feed. So I just let them feed and wait for them to wander off. Well they won't leave, they flop on the ground and nap, my dogs are barking at them and they won't leave. I walked up to them yelling at them and they slowly got up and looked at me, I think I was almost close enough to kick them in on the head. Then finaly meandered off unimpressed. So I brought my dogs out and damn if the deer didn't come back out of the tree line to feed, even with my dogs running around chaseing the ball and barking. My two ignored the deer but I don't want to tempt the fates. I know a fresh gut pile would be effective but Mrs Jones forbids it. Any suggestions?
Deer are a true menace in my area too. Short of fencing they are difficult to deter. Your deer seem particularly brave; I can't imagine any of my Boston area deer napping in the presence of a large barking dog.
Thinking about it Dennis, you are actually lucky. You have some bad-@ssed deer while I am stuck with wimpy ones.
