The yin yang of your farm friends eating your crops. My NW Washington State area is over populated, ( IMHO ), with blacktail deer. They will eat anything vegetation once and most anything repeatedly. With HOA fencing restrictions it becomes a bit of a chess game planting and protecting vegetation from the deer. Our State fish and game agency is the sole legal manager, ( owner ? ), of the deer, making any population control or mitigation effort by private property owners punishable. I do enjoy their presence and work with them as best I can. I have a dear friend sports writer who keeps telling me when visiting "vegetables are what food eats".
