I see them in and around my yard all the time, and I HATE DEER. They are like very large rats, who eat anything I plant that isn't in at least a 6 foot fenced area. Having a garden is impossible without a very high, very tight fence.
There are so many deer around here! There is seldom a week that I don't see at least one deer dead along the roads near my home. Sometimes there are several, especially in Summer. And each one of those dead deer along the road probably equals a damaged vehicle--the last one my wife hit caused damage that totaled almost $7K to her car.
The ones I see are almost always does or juveniles. I almost never see a buck with more than spike antlers, and bucks are the ones that might be legal to shoot during the season. Does are seldom legal to shoot with a firearm, and I think that is stupid, considering how many of them there are, and how much damage they cause.
I wish I could keep them out of my yard, and I wish they were more afraid of people and my dog. I have considered getting a paintball rifle and shooting at the deer in my yard. I don't think that paintballs would really hurt them much, but maybe popping them a few times would make the deer think that my yard is not a good place to be. Don't think I will be asking the Game Department what they think about that idea though.
