Our new place is thick with deer, too. Lost our veggie garden until we ringed it with a 7' fence. Would love to exercise my archery skills on them, but I think the neighbors would not like a dead deer (or gut pile) in their yards. Can't shoot well enough to just drop them.

That aside, we saw probably 10 different bucks over the spring/summer. Most, of course, were small. The biggest seem to be 3x3. Not huge, but nice. The bucks seem to be away by early summer-maybe they move into Priest Point. They'll be a little more obvious now.
