So I go to the nursery to pick up a few vegetable sets and have to wait for some politically correct woman going on about wanting 'natural, organic ,GMO free ' vegetables that 'deer wouldn't eat'( rememeber this is a place where the university threatened to expel any student killing a rabbit which inundated the campus , even for dinner,and naked young co eds with strategic body paint protest and earnestly claim they would 'rather be naked than wear fur ') anyway, after having to listen to this lady get on her soap box about 'living in harmony with nature' I finally got a chance to ask ' if you had any deer friendly vegetables ?'and when the store clerk reacted in surprise as to ' why I wanted deer freindly vegetables? I told her 'I live in harmony with nature too and in fact I had a symbiotic relationship with the deer, they ate my garden,and in the fall I planned on shooting one of them so ' neither of us would feel we were exploiting each other' ....this of course was greeted with holy horror by the politically correct yuppie lady,but she couldn't think up anything to say that fast..

Sometimes you just gotta have some fun...

Fence, dogs, close to house and I stand in the kitchen, at six in the morning, and watch deer treating it like a salad bar. Plant twice what you need and hope for the best.

I had one of these rather round gals with big pink glasses in front of me at the post office
not that long ago.
Her jaws woodn't stawp moving.
She finally got up to the counter and continued.
Parcel was stamped and wag wag fruck'n wag.
Told her to get the gal behind the counter phone number.
I asked if she wanted mine?
Then I humbly blerted owt, "must be a gal thang".
Ohhhh, the werds that were tawstitted.

She sounds like the new land owners who move to the gulf Islands here on the West Coast.
They love the serenity of the Islands and the nature that surrounds them.
The deer in the yards , the side of the road the farm fields etc..
Then it comes to planting the gardens and enjoying the fruits of their labor..till the deer find the abundance of easy food.
Then all bets are off after spending the growing season has yielded little or no hand cared for veggies.
They come looking for flowers and plantlife to repel Bambi and his following of free loaders.
Some will secretly allow the offending critters to be culled, yet others will look at you in horror of wanting to solve the problem for them and still continue to look for a solution to repel the deer.
Thanks for sharing your good humor this morning.

Controversy? No controversy at all, these people seem to have messianic delusions about spreading THEIR 'morality' ....I just live in peace and harmony with nature in a symbiotic relationship with deer...I feed them,they feed me,nobody is exploited nor has an advantage over the other...it's the way we have coexisted for milenia ,this 'animal rights' vegetarian/vegan nonsense is a 'Johnny come lately' theory by people who haven't got a clue where we all fit into the grand scheme of things...

How pray tell could you possibly have a deer proof vegetable.

Lady next door with a garden to be proud of was getting lots of attention from the deer, veggies and flowers both. She didn't mind too much and enjoyed the deer as much as her garden. Anyway, after one particularly good harvest by the deer, she told me that she heard that deer don't care for "Irish Spring" (the soap), so she hung a bunch in strategic locations. I thought it was kind of funny because she hung it like soap-on-a-rope and I wasn't sure if she was expecting the deer to leave the scene because of the scent, or eat it, or shower with it. Not sure how her experiment turned out. She has since moved and the new neighbours plowed the garden over. Miss that old gal...
 
Our friends in the 108 Mile Ranch (central BC) have deer proof vegetables .. in the way of $15,000.00 worth of 8ft chain link fence .. and even then, it's not a guarantee that it will keep the deer out, more likely they will simply opt for easier pickens next door though.
 
Since You can't beat em,you may as well join em...take the odd deer out and everything's good....it's worked since the dawn of time so who am I to try and change it?..good natural organic hormone free lean meat too, not some feedlot beef fed goodness knows what to 'enhance' growth....where do you think all these cancers of the gut are coming from?
 
Fencing is pricey but "deer proof veggies" are unicorns. Sheep proof landscaping is the pegicorn. Bit concerned if this is a trend as one commentator suggested. Dropping a key bomb like the story which is funny needs spontaneity. I get what caverk says but intimidating is in the delivery of the riposte. Speaking of which "intimately" is likely on the cards tonight and my wife loves deer.
