Bobert's right. In Fluvanna Va, when I lived there. Nothing was safe from the browsers. It was maddening to spend so much money and time on nice dinner for the deer.

I lived in guarded community that did not permit fencing, dogs running loose, or hunting.

Another big problem in central Va. was the auto accidents caused by deer.

Hunting season needs to be longer. Then maybe there would be fewer hunting accidents caused by party mentality rife in the short season. Beer and guns is a terrible mix.
