Housing development here in Maryland is so out of control as its been for a decade, that the deer are everywhere.
On our lawns , ripping up our gardens and bushs, dead on the roads.
Just again last week I was able to once again luckily able swerve my car around one just standing in my lane just watching me, without having an accident.
Put deer whistles on your car. They cost lest than $10 and are available at your local auto parts store. They work. It’s amusing to watch the local deer scamper away from me, instead of turning and charging toward me as I drive down the street. My first set of deer whistles were already on my car that we bought used. We added them to our other car when we saw how effective they were.
My husband had his front bumper and grill replaced 3 times at a cost of $1000+ each time before adding deer whistles. Nothing since. (He hit a coyote in Wyoming, a wild turkey down the road from us, and a racoon 3 days after getting the repaired car back the last time.) Now, the animals run the opposite way.
Why does there have to be any more housing development in rural areas?
