Cindi ....
There's no hunting allowed in town. They hunt in the back country. Yes, the town deer herd has gotten too large.
My slope deer fence just got old. I need to repair it. The whole thing should be replaced, but I just don't have the funds for that and the other maintenance that I need to keep up with on the house.
btw ... it's only one doe, so far. It's been raining for the last two days, so I haven't been able to make the repair. She has hit every rose. Red, white, orange, purple, pink. She doesn't care what color they are. She also doesn't care if it's raining.
It seems like she has eaten every shoot on every rose. It's hard to see the damage. This is the first time I have had a deer problem on the house pad level.
Oh, well. She has pruned them harder than I would have. I'll just call it a rejuvenation prune ...
According to the forecast, there will be no rain Friday and Saturday, then it's going to rain or snow every day next week. I have those two days to get the materials I need and find someone to help me. Working on the slope is not a one person job.
