Yes Allen and it is getting worse every day.

When I moved to my present location in 1980 we had a good system. About 3000 acres of woods owned by 3 people lined by dairy farms.

The hunters; deer; and coyote were all happy to stay in the woods. The land was all leased to hunters which with the coyotes kept the population in check.
Then one day urban sprawl hit our area. One owner sold off 500 acres to build a 5 acre tract subdivision which cut off his other 500 acres from the area so he terminated the hunting lease. Another owner sold off his whole 1000 acres to a country club/golf course developer for future development; so that left only 1000 acres to hunt.

The city folks moving in complained about the coyotes so the state came in and removed them.

So you can see where we are now. The deer have no natural enemies and the hunters have been pushed out. They did try to hunt using dogs to chase the deer onto the leased land but that did not go over to well. Imaging that..... Its 6 am on a Sunday morning and here comes a deer followed by a pack of dogs right through your new subdivision yard and garden. Boy that did not go over well at all.

So now every one is complaining that the deer eat everything in site. Your flowers; veggie garden; everything. Best part is they want the state to do something about it. And these are the same people that complained when we had coyotes in the woods killing the deer.

Guess you just can not please some people no matter what you do.
