A neighbor told me he saw a deer in our yard the other evening, and again this morning. This is a problem.
And it has been a problem for the past few years. Our backyard has served as an amazing salad bar/dinner destination for the local deer, rabbit and groundhog population at great cost to us. Well, at least great emotional cost. Last year we had eighteen ears of beautiful golden yellow corn growing - ready to be picked in less than a week. And then one morning I came out to find utter devastation. Something - something BIG - had literally hacked them all in half, ate all the corn and then had the nerve to leave the scraps all over our yard.
Cleaning up the mess left by the monster that ravaged our corn crop? It was nothing short of heartbreaking.
