I have caught wind of a clever attempt on behalf of many deer colonies to boycott this article because of its extensive information and its effective approach. While I am a big fan of this writer - AND his good sense of humor injected into the mix of sound advice, I am also a fan of the bambiesque, and cannot imagine spending a summer without enjoying their visits to our meadow. Despite the comprehensive and well-written info provided by the author, I have found it most successful to initiate face to fawn discussions with the wildlife at issue and to negotiate - in the manner that many parents today negotiate with their toddlers - a reasonable boundary approach. As some research indicates that this negotiation approach seems to give less than admirable results with those toddlers [or presumably deer] who are not members of MENSA - then the "deranged dash" approach seems to me to be multi-purposed in providing neighborhood amusement and a good ice-breaker with any new neighbors - while giving the hungry deer a decent distraction as well. All in all - a most worthy article!
Thank you! Let me know how the negotiations go - I'll meet you at the impasse! Actually I took a gardening course at Disney one year and the lady spoke about how she had an 'understanding' with the animals in her garden and we could do the same thing at home. They would feel our vibes! Think she'd been with Goofy too much.
Watch it with the Goofy comments...!! LOL Really - all kidding aside - your article was thorough, well-written and enjoyable as always, Victor! Shall we just agree to disagree on the relative merits of the deer population? LOL
