My deer must be like Deb’s deer they seem to feel the need to smash through the fence other than just jumping over it. It could be a sight thing though.

Ugh! Deer ticks. The other day my pack and I strayed from the main path at Angeles Crest National forest and when we got home…tick heaven! Gross and dangerous! We have many deer at the foothills and because of the Station Fire they visit the homes frequently. The other day our street sounded like it was under siege, or being evacuated again. I rushed out, and what do I see? Police cars escorting about 15 deer who had made it down to Foothil Blvd.

Perhaps as they ran away, the little deer said to her sibling, “Ma slapped a bear!”

Deb, I’d prefer the jumping deer. Fixing fences isn’t high on my list of favorite things to do.

Holly, I also understand that perspective. There certainly is an abundance of deer on our road, and we always have to be on the lookout at dusk and dawn. But I’ve learned to work with (and around) our wildlife. I don’t plant anything the deer like to eat. Though, this is the first time I’ve seen them chomping on my grapes. We’ll have to see on that one.

Cindy, that’s me too. “Happy to see you come. Happy to see you go.”

At the wildlife rehab I volunteer with I got to see the complete recovery of a young deer that had been hit by a car, losing it’s right hind leg in the process. This three-legged wonder now happily roams the twelve acre compound. She has become the poster child of what can be accomplished when faced with an injured animal that many believed needed to be put down. As you can tell, I love deer. Whenever I see one I silently say, “Go in peace”…..just stay out of my yard! ;-)

I am not so generous as you. If I find deer inside my fence (has only happened 2x) …..I send the dogs out after them. The deer ticks are a serious issue and even in town here we have a huge problem with deer. We have so many deer in our area that they cause major damage to cars, serious damage to landscaping and are a total nuisance. Some around here call them Yard Rats.

Those are lovely photos. I remember fixing fences; but it was to keep the sheep in, not the deer out. Our deer tended to jump any fences deemed to be in the way rather than knock them down. Maybe your deer come from a higher gene pool.
