Around here, they say that you need 12' fences to deter deer. They haven't found my garden. Typically the deer and bears seem to stay in lower lying areas near the river. Occasionally a bear will wander to main street and discover the restaurant dumpsters. The park rangers and police tranquilize and relocate it. You can hunt deer in season with a permit on or off your own land. The first day of hunting season is practically a holiday around here. I celebrate by wearing bright orange.
