I have experienced the same this year as Champlain Islander. One doe has been hanging around my property and had a couple of fawns. She has eaten most of my garden, including corn, bush beans, cucumbers and then ate my still green cantalopes and watermelons! The only thing she hasnt eaten are my tomatoes and squash or anything behind my 8' fence.
I have been spraying coyote urine around the perimeter of one garden and my lope/watermelon patch and it used to keep them and the coons out. Not this doe! She is not bothered by the smell at all. There is plenty of food out there in the woods, but she prefers my garden. I usually leave the deer alone on my three acres and hunt on two leases, but I am rethinking that now......
