I currently don't have deer problems, although the Wisconsin DNR said the deer were really really hungry this year because of the dry year last year, and the extremely long snow covered winter this year.

I do know at work - 200 acres of prime lake front property in Madison, that the deer this week were right up next to my building chomping all the daylilies. But work has a 25 mph speed limit and a lot of critters - so no predators. The I see them mostly at dawn and dusk, and they spend time in the apple orchard next to my building.My workplace doesn't mind the deer but periodically when the neighborhoods complain, we hire a company in late fall to bait and shoot the excess deer, and the meat gets donated to the food pantries. ~Jan
