Urban and suburban deer have become a problem up and down the east coast. Many communities, including some in North Carolina, allow (restricted) hunting of deer within the city limits. The one above just looked at us as if to say that humans would have to move first. Deer have become accustomed to human habitats and, when they forage, they can strip shrubs down to the bark. These herbivores also love fruit, acorns, and nuts. For the last several years, they have eaten the flowers out of our lilies, right before they bloom.
Do you have deer in your neighborhood? Fed up? Antartica and Austrailia don't have deer. Deer are an example of the delicate balance between man and nature. As long as you continue to live in Greensboro, likely you'll have to contend with the critters. Happy Monday, dear readers.
Gosh, I often use your blog for ideas. we posted deer within a day. Your deer is more photogenic than mine...seems logical since your deer has a great photographer.
