Nothing to do with boats - deer

I work at a private golf course. Woods all around. I see deer, foxes, coyotes, eagles, etc. every day

I almost got one with my F250 on my way to the marina to check on the boat this morning.

Looks like my backyard.

It would take me some time to find a picture that I took maybe 15 years ago in my backyard. I think there was about 15 deer and they are all laying down, for hours. I keep a salt lick in my backyard.

No salt lick, but we get the same thing. I could walk right through the group of them and they will just look at me. I could easily take one out with my .45, if it ever came to that.
 
We get deer all the time ….the back yard must have been a trail at one time. They eat our landscaping….. drives my wife crazy. If you ever get caught in my backyard and you are cute and furry my wife will kill you.

We discovered grated Irish Spring works. We have a ton of Hosta's bordering our driveway , walkways, garden, etc. Last year the deer had a field day and ate a bunch of the plants. We had nothing but stems after the carnage.

Get a cheese grater, a few bars of Irish Spring, and put it on the plants. The deer will stop. I guess they don't care for Irish Spring. We re-applied about a month later, then never had an issue the rest of the Summer.
 
What about moles, chipmunks digging in the garden and squirrels….. oh and rabbits nesting in our bushes and eating everything as well
 
Wow that's a lot of deer. We have them everywhere but never more than 2-3 in a group.

My biggest problem/amusement is the turkeys. They travel in a posse of up to 20, wandering the neighborhood. There is at least one fight that breaks out every day. Sometimes they sleep in the tall trees between us and the neighbors. So at dusk, they will line up in formation ..... then one by one, they get a running start and up they go.

Typically we have 1 to 4. First time for that many. It's a 500 home sub backed up to apartments and condos. Half mile from an 8 lane road. Amazing so many deer in such a populated area. The sub is located on an old golf course that closed about 20 years ago the sub is started about 15 years ago.
