    They do so much damage to my young fruit trees.

    I’ll be happy to share with them when we get fruit, but the trees need to survive to the point where the deer snacking on some leaves won’t kill them!

    I’ve taken to installing small fences around the trees that the deer can easily reach over but discourage the fawns from stripping my saplings.

      Same. Or if you have a vegetable garden you have to high fence it. They’re dumb as hell so if they manage to make their way into a fenced in area they’re going to bust out the side.

      I like looking at them, they’re cute, but they are super destructive and overpopulated. They need predation. Bring back wolves, unironically
