We have one of those really anti anything good neighbors who, in my opinion, must hate himself and life in general. In a rare conversation with him, my DH mentioned that another neighbor and ourselves had problems with deer last year. This obnoxious guy immediately hid a salt block in the woods close to the property line in hopes, I am sure, that the deer would destroy both our gardens. That does attract the deer without question, so I advise against putting out anything like that!!
No wonder some species eat their young, lol.
