@Goodhope458 can you make a hardware cloth cage around it/them and secure it to the ground?

@kenriley Are they edible. If not, why not?

@kenriley Sounds like part of your meat supply has been delivered into your hands? Well almost - if they are that dim they should not be hard to catch.

I've read that the scent of human urine will keep the deer away, however you have to apply every day....

@HippieChick58 I was up at 5 am this morning and when I went to make the coffee I could see 3 deer hanging around in the old apple trees beside my vegetable garden. So while the kettle was coming to a boil so I could brew the coffee in the french press I slipped on my flip flops and wandered out to the garden to chase them off. They let me get with 20 ft before they became agitated, so I did the guy thing and whipped out and drained the lizard in the hopes it would drive them away. They moved away another 10 ft but that's all, so I asked them nicely to leave my garden alone but feel free to eat anything else, they went back to munching on the lower branches of the apple trees. Once back inside and the boiling water poured over the coffee grounds I go back to the solarium and have a look to see how my urine deterrent is working and there's the smallest of the three deer standing right on top of where I just peed.
I guess human pee works better when there are human hunters around drinking lots of beer as they wait to shoot the deer that come to the corn piles that 'hunters' like to put out so they don't have to actually hunt.

@Surfpirate LOL!! Thank you for your effort in dispelling that myth. I appreciate your efforts and your report.

@HippieChick58 I was a bit crestfallen to say the least.

@HippieChick58 Lol you are just looking for any excuse to relive your feral hippie days? ?

@Surfpirate Perhaps it needs to go stale and rancid?

Rabbit pie?

@FrayedBear The lawn mower decimated a burrow one summer. I don't notice that the population has decreased I usually see six or 8 in the half mile it take me to get out of my neighborhood in the mornings. And that is just in the front yards.

@HippieChick58 Get a tom cat. Love bunnies.

Double barrel shotgun, sawn off barrels - less aiming.

@FrayedBear
Whoa! That would get the neighbor's AND. The g- hog''s attention!

P.S. Makes a mess of the cabbage though saves on shredding for the coleslaw or stirfry!
