the deer got to ours before we had implemented our fencing program
but the “pruning” they got wasn’t too severe so they should recover
we’re getting serious about fruit bushes/trees - and that means getting serious about protecting our investment

some silly people think that the relatively ineffective urban deer control programs free up the urban dwellers from having to invest time/effort/finances to prevent deer depredation - they assume gov’t programs handle it and urban dwellers just sit back and relax
and that urban folks also benefit greatly from the awesome hunting opportunities it provides - lol, they’ve never attended the certification training and thought about how creepy it would be to hunt deer where lots of anti-hunting people are walking/biking with their kids, etc.
they’d be wrong, but there’s no telling them that

also - we chose not to gut shoot the deer
I’m pretty sure galwhofishes dreams about killing them though - smoke comes out her ears when she discovers “nibblage”... or down right devastation - I have to talk her down - caught her googling “flame throwers for deer” the other day
