[T.H.E. Binz]

You don't know how lucky you are in the Lakes Region (except for Long Island) - deer are considered one step above rats here in southeast Pennsylvania. My township is conducting a special hunt in a few weeks in which the state game regulators are waiving all the rules - you can get permission to shoot in your backyard or your neighbor's backyard (well, not really, there are some limitations)

You won't find anyone who hasn't hit a deer with their car around here. The insurance companies are even conducting sterilization research projects in an effort to reduce the deer population. You can forgot having a vegetable garden or shrubbery unless you erect a nine-foot fence.

We have tried all the home remedies like diesel fuel on wood, dogs, commercial repellent - if it's a harsh winter these critters will eat just about anything!
