I feel your pain Chris they visit my yard nightly 2 big bucks and several smaller deer all come up and fest on my plants. They eat figs, mulberries, blackberries, elderberry, and many other plants in my yard even though we have a dog. I've even been outside and had one blow at me as if to say I was in his territory. The deer population is so high in SC they released coyotes and red wolves to control them, like we really needed wolves and coyotes. Now the coyotes have given up on deer and have started eating peoples livestock instead, who didn't see that one coming.
