My home garden is shot. The deer ate almost everything that came up and have even eaten some of the green tomato's. Ironically last year was the first year in about 20 that I didn't get my deer. They have over run the Island I live on and are in the yard every night eating gardens along with shrubs and soon they will be camped out in my orchard pulling off the apples that are low enough. I have lived here for almot 18 years and never had this much of a problem. I even did the fish line 3 tier fence that always worked before but they must just jump it now and it always used to keep them out. Once figured out the word probably spread that it was good food and easy to get to. That first doe that got over the fence probably taught her fawns and then they in turn taught their fawns. Now the whole herd knows about my garden.....
