DEER, DEER

Oh dear :-(((
What can you do though ? Presumably you have a problem keeping them out of the garden ?
I'm glad i don't have to live with them :-/

Thats a shame can you stop them?

They are very clever and creep in during the night, in fact I think it may only be one small one. I have never seen it but when the snow was on the ground there were lots of small footprints on the lawn.

It's such a disappointment for you. : o ( (

Thats one sneaky little deer then Doctorbob ! Would it be a muntjac ?

It could be Ray, as I say i've never seen one but there are little deposits all over the lawn.

They are famous for their bark...maybe you have heard them though not seen them !

Apparently the RHS now receives almost as many inquiries about Deer as it does about Rabbits ! A 6ft fence is the only deterrrent. Muntjac are fairly indiscriminate as to what they will eat in your garden, they will go for anything ! The Deer Society estimates there could be around 1.5 million in the UK . Visit The British Deer Society at www.bds.org.uk for further information. I am so glad I have none in my garden, poor you. : 0 ( (

Sorry to hear you're plants have been nibbled Bob. I've never seen a Muntjac, I'll visit the website Megan to check out our area.

I think these are ordinary Deer, we are surrounded by so many woods, in this area and they run wild and are all over the Crown Estates.
