RE: Deer and pears?
The area where the pear tree is, is real thick, near where they bed and within 20 foot of a travel corridor leading to a stand of oaks and a stream, there are tons of blackberries they are chowing down on now, but they will be gone before the season comes in. I really think the pear will be ripe before the oaks start dropping thier acorns and there are no crops in the area, just a few small gardens which I am sure they raid on occasion. If they like pears this could be a great morning and afternoon stand, it is near their bedding area and a good distance once the blackberries are gone from most of their other food sources.
