Last night's unprovoked attack on our innocent garden greens will directly affect the amount of venison that goes into the freezer this year. This is not a threat, but a statement of my increased motivation.

I realize that our succulent plants must make a tasty treat when you and your buddies have eaten most of the good stuff out of the forest, but enough is enough.

I am prepared to stop at just one dead deer this year if you can agree as a herd to cease all future hostilities. If we notice any more nibbles past this day then all I can say is "I warned you".

We finally solved the deer in the garden problem, and the solution was so elegant we gave it a new website.  Check out our deer deterrent website for free plans!
