Actually the two deer related posts were total serendipity. However, I will bare all - I do indeed have no love of deer.
It goes back 20 years ago when we lived in Maryland and had a house that was near a large amount of greenspace. As is true of much of the Eastern US, the area had become overrun with deer because there were no natural predators to reduce there herd size (this is a very well documented phenomena). Since over-breed, they start spilling over into the built up areas looking for food. That meant (and means) devouring your and my garden.
Since there was so much foliage in the sub-division. They became very picky. They wouldn't just wipe out my tomato plants. Noooo, they would eat just the buds and the flowers. So it would always look like the plants were just ready to do something. Then you'd notice that yes there were flowers but they never turned into tomatoes. It took me years before I finally realized what was happening. And there was no practical fence in a suburban neighborhood that was sufficeint to keep them out.
I swore a horrible oath that hence forth I would become the nemisis of Bambi. Bambi would find its rightful place - as a source of protein in the human food chain.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You are indeed the embodiment of evil. Poor deer. Just go to the store and buy your vegetables like the rest of us!!!
Actually, overpopulation is a big problem and a very reasonable solution is limited hunting.
i really don't have anything against deer hunting either. the overpopulation is probably why i hit one this summer! i just wouldn't want them hunting "your deer" that you get to see on your hikes.
'sides i like venison too much to be against deer hunting! somebody else just has to do the deed.
Yes, you know there's an overpopulation problem when a deer goes wandering down my street in a fully developed suburban neighborhood. Talk about a strange site.
Ummmm.... let's try that again...
"a strange sight."
