Yes. We had Rosie....she left us a few years back...but the deer used to terrorize her...a pointer afraid of EVERYTHING. The squirrels tree'd HER!
The drive cannot be fenced in..not completely and they come up the drive plus, 125 acres behind us in conserved land...and a deer trail...and we have a creek running alongside the property..a perfect deer environment. The doe and the fawn sleep right outside my window and this year one leaves her fawn for 5-7 hours waiting ..napping and sometimes browsing. Nothing to be done. I am the interloper.
