I do have fun writing about the rabid goose, but seriously it is an important part of my strategy to keep deer away from my garden. All that buck would have had to do was lean on my T-post and wire fencing and the roses would be gone. I had to run him off.
Town deer are used to humans yelling and screaming at them and just kind of look at you when you try to chase them off. The call of the rabid goose is a sound they have never heard. I may look like a human, but I sure don't sound like one ..
When I drive home, I can see deer grazing on neighbors' lawns, but rarely see them on mine. So, the hostile territory thing is important.
I really haven't spent much on my deer fencing. It's not pretty, but it seems to work.
Just something else to think about ...
