Do you have a rifle and some ammo? What about a guard dog? I never have any deer here. We have so many dogs in the neighborhood barking all the time, and we’re a little close to town.

We have plenty of rabbits, squirrels, occasional possum, coon, and fox.

I'd love to be able to put Bambi in my freezer compartment, but I live in the middle of a large city on a heavily traveled street (bus lines, trucks, much traffic) and my tomatoes are in the front yard because that is where the sun is. The SWAT team would probably show up if I fired a gun, never mind actually killing Bambi. I don't have a dog, and I only know of one dog on the street, a small "yip dog" who lives mostly indoors.

I also have rabbits, squirrels, possum, and raccoons. My neighbors report coyotes, but I have not seen them. The deer are nearly fearless; I have seen them crossing my street at 6 PM during rush hour in bright summer sunlight. One neighbor reports deer climbing steps onto her porch.
