Wildlife damage recovery

" If you have a country property that is fenced to keep dogs in (as I did
for many years), and if the dogs are large and predatory, deer will stay
out."
Jane,
Not more than 60 seconds ago a beautiful mature doe (she had twins last
season) sauntered across our unfenced 20+ acre field maybe 100 feet past
the veggie garden and small orchard. Ever watchful, Fred the Giant
Schnauzer gave his deer specific warning from inside the house and the doe
pranced into the swamp. We have a 1500 square foot fenced-in run off of the
kitchen door for the beastie; his bark keeps the riff-raff away.

Best,

I use Milorganite. Blood meal, a slaughterhouse waste product getting
ever more costly, is a nitrogen fertilizer.

Deer are so well fed in our gardens, here in the Garden State of New
Jersey, that only the first year do does have a single fawn. After that,
twins are common, even - occasionally - triplets.

In Lake Oswego, Oregon, I sprinkle Blood Meal or Fish Bone Meal around my
roses, etc. the deer live here year around, eat my next door neighbours
roses, etc. The roses love it and the deer don’t. Lightly sprinkle weekly
sometimes livery two weeks. I’m

That has not been my experience in Perquimans County where there is no
leash law.

NJ has a bow season, shotgun with solid slug, a sabot, and black

powder.

We have a hunter who uses a black powder gun. He gets one or two deer
off our property each year. We are gifted back strap, roast, etc.

I still, almost every day, see a group of 5 deer on their
peregrinations. But it is with pleasure that we eat delicious locavore
free range venison.

Vancouver Island has no coyotes but lots of cougars. They aren’t
generally shot. When a cougar is roaming near a school, the children
are kept inside. And the cougar that entered someone’s apartment was
just moved to a wild area.

They don’t manage to keep our deer in check, though. When I was
young, about 1945, we used to make special trips to see deer in the
forest. I don’t know what encouraged them to overrun our cities.

Diane,

What encourages deer to overrun our cities is nonsensical hunting
regulations which allow them to overpopulate. I am not a hunter and I
do not own a gun; so I am not a gun rights fanatic.
