    I thought I would show everyone a picture I took two years ago since we were on the subject with the I HATE DEER post. This photo is of two deer on my trailer eating feild corn that I picked up after a very mudy fall. The tractors were getting stuck in the mud and ran over a lot of corn stalks so I picked up a few pickup truck loads to feed to the deer in the winter. After a while they didn’t want to wait for me and helped themselves. The corn was under a tarp with a heavy chain on the tarp to keep it from blowing away. This is one example of how deer will go any whare a easy meal is. I have seen tracks whare they put thair front feet on a persons portch to get at plants in a pot. When I built my house I was telling the foundation guy that every night after people left the lot the deer had to see what was going on and walked all over by the house. He told me they poured a footing once and came back the next day and thar were deer tracks in the concrete.

    Wow we don’t have any of those in Connecticut. I guess a few of those in your garden would be a organic way to control deer.

    The deer are really used to people around here. I’ve gotten maybe 15ft away from a few, nearly stumbled over a fawn while hiking through a field, and of course they eat our plants. Ironically their population booms in suburbs with the added grass.
