Funny and resourceful guy, Wayne.
Thanx for the heads-up about the photo. I had taken it on my iPhone; then, posted it directly to the MTJ forum via the phone. For some reason, that turned it upside down. So, I fiddled with it on my laptop and got it to be right-side-up.

Electrocuting the deer is a wonderful idea, but I am shy to have their carcasses littering the yard. I have tried coyote pee but suspect the deer have developed a fondness for it. Maybe it gets 'em high. It sure doesn't discourage them. The neighbors have been discouraged, however, since the coyote pee makes the yard smell like an open grave.

I've even tried going after them (the deer, not the neighbors) with a club, but they know darn well I am a pansy in that regard, so they just snort at me with contempt and ridicule when I am standing there face-t-face with them in my front yard!!!! After all, who can smack a deer in the face?!

As one that has had personal experience at the intersection of electric fence and the mammalian existence, I can assure you that unless the deer has a heart condition, there will be no carcasses in your front lawn.

Get a real coyote.

Really? I've never noted an open grave to smell much more that recently dug earth; OTOH, an occupied open grave is another matter and I bow to your expertise in that olfactory experience. Part-time grave robber, are you? Supplementing that pensino with fresh body parts?

I can't imagine that you are actually fast enough to succeed with that action; you do not wnat to get into a physical interaction with a deer - it will win.

Clubbing the neighbors is something entirely different - just where do you keep the rope and cleaning supplies?

Saw an adult deer strolling thru the front yard, while my wife and I sat on the porch. I alighted from the porch and approached as a second good-sized one strolled around the front of the house. I walked to approx. 9' from it, as she/he (?) looked over its shoulder at me, all relaxed and casual. That's when it gave me the snort and condescending look. Then, it gradually, without the slightest bit of alarm, stepped (not leaped) from the sidewalk to the street, over the curb, and then strolled to the next yard. See how I suffer?

Maybe you should consider screaming and waving your arms at them after you get close; run away promptly thereafter.

If you're lucky, the neighbors will call it in and you'll only have to prove you're not nutz to a judge.......

Have you tried pepper spray and little bells?

Oooohhhh the horror of such a suggestion. Trust me on that. No neighbor should have such an apparition inflicted on them. Not even the deer need to see that. I just want the deer away, not frightened and shivering at the roadside somewhere far away.

(Of course, there's always Halloween to consider for such romping around....hhhhhmmmmmm.... ....)

No. Had to run to the convenient porcelain recycling center to make an immediate donation therein after reading your note.............

I'm just not clever enough to respond adequately to that note. Maybe I'll take a non-walk thru my non-yard among my non-shrubs to see if I get uninspired to comment further. Maybe the birds will drop me a message that'll help my musings.

Mediate upon the marble, Leafhopper, and it shall all become clear to you.....
