This target is sitting 40 feet from my house. The house is to the left. Every day I have at least 5 does browsing right there where the target sits. We have TOO many nuisance deer in our area. I live in a city but can walk across the road and walk 1-10 miles and not hit a single road. Parts of the city and suburbs have so many deer they give out nuisance doe tags.
I used to have a garden for 25 years until 12 years ago in July I went out one Saturday morning and there was 6 small bucks destroying it

. I yelled at them they never moved. I had to bring out the blank gun to chase them. For 4 years after that I would have 15-23 deer winter in on my lawn during February and March.

I’ll post a YouTube video later today.
Last year I didn’t see much deer activity in the spring so I decided it was time to try my garden again. Getting ready to semi retire this December. I swear as soon as my string beans got up to a foot the deer showed up

. I got one feed of string beans. The deer got the rest. Last weekend I spent $500 on electric fencing and now waiting for the rain to stop.
In conclusion I’m applying for a doe tag to do my part in deer control. Being semi retired I’m looking forward to some nice deer loin on the BBQ, sausages we also bottle in the pressure cooker. The bottled deer meat we mis with pork, garlic and onions makes a great stew on a cold winters day Mmm.
Sorry for the ramble.
