Deer

The "go to" spot here is our Pear tree in the backyard. This pic was taken out of our back door.

I’ve got an old sad pear tree in my yard too. Knotty small fruit. Deer love it from August thru September. Bees too, well back when there were hives nearby. Not many now.

We almost ran the Bald Eagle into extinction. Are Honey Bees next?

One thing I absolutely hated about living in Alaska was, having moose into the yard all the time.

They are just so destructive, and sometimes quite dangerous too, much more so than a bear!

I don't miss them at all!

The moose have migrated a couple hundred miles into the south here in the last 15 years or so. Very rare sight at that time.

I plant 2 acres of soybeans and 1/2 acre of clover for the deer and turkeys. This picture is taken out of my front door. Those are not all resident deer, they come from all over to a good food source. I counted 54 that night.

Sweet. There's a few acres of pasture here, that with a bit of work could be used in that fashion. Might have to pursue that idea. Right now it's just prairie grass, not used for anything.
 
Around here deer are nothing but pests that eat anything and everything.

We have pretty much given up on having any kind of a substantial garden since the deer get it all unless it is fenced with a 6 foot fence.

Might add your location for value in these type responses.
