Well, yes that’s true for many of us. I was just talking to friend of ours on Wednesday. They totally ravage her garden-she lives out of town in the woods. Nothing has worked so far that she has tryed.
We are just a mile out side of town and close enough that we just don’t have problems with deer. We do have the smaller varmits and critters. The worst of which is a family or two of coons.
Here, in town, in Central TX, I've hit two deer, and they think my front flower beds are their salad bar.
They've even come onto the front porch to eat flowers in big pots.

My granddaughter and family live well within the city of Helena Montana- and the first home they lived in had a 6 foot fence, but they always had deer in their yard. A favorite snoozing place during the day was the lawn under a huge cedar tree in the side yard. The front yard would have fresh droppings when we left in the mornings. One day a big deal for my grandson was watching two young bucks sparring, practicing for later months to come during rut season. Gardens were a real problem there. They had a neighbor across the alley who did have a garden. I really considered going over to ask him how he managed that.
A doe and her baby showed up in our side yard a few nights ago while we did a burn. The sun hadn’t even set yet. Crowbar just froze and pointed, but I got up and started jumping around and waving my arms. The deer just looked at me calmly. This does not bode well. P.S. Our closest neighbors can’t see us—forest on four sides—thank heaven lol!
