He has taken to munching on their droppings - ughhh! - I am considering camping out a few evenings with my boys and letting the deer feel the wrath of some paintball slugs on their backsides to condition them to stay away from my yard. Think that will work, or are deer too dumb?
Deer are hungry in the winter and nothing will deter them.
Labs are puppies for close to ten years.
And, they are the best dogs God ever made. You'll be in love forever with yours.
No, the deer are smart enough to stay away when the paintball people are out, and come back when they're in.
Sorry.
And, if you decide to walk him on a lead, start buying shirts and coats with one arm longer than the other. My right arm is now three inches longer than it was before my Lab.
Many of us are razzing you but you are in for a treat.
We just lost our chocolate Lab and she was without a doubt the best dog I have ever been with and we've had a bunch over the years.
Best of luck. You chose a great breed.
