Lol, I'll take your word on that. I live in heavy woods, with lots of deer and never once had a deer fuck with my buds. Blackbears, yes. But they tip pots over lol
Yeah, I was having problems with moths laying eggs on my plants( turning into borers) so I looked into mothballs. Those things are straight up poison
You can. Hunting and taking out a nuisance animal are two different things.
For some time, I lived up north in British Columbia, very close to Alaska. Yes, wildlife is in extreme abundance. It isn't out of the ordinary to have several bears, moose, deer, wolves and coyotes walk by your house even in a single day sometimes (especially in late fall). Also yes, there's so few people in the area the people understand that we're infringing on the wildlife's space, not the other way around.
I've been in the back country all over the contiguous states. People always ask if I'm afraid of encounters with wildlife. I always say "No, the animals never have ulterior motives. I'm only afraid when I encounter people in the wilderness. I never know what they're going to do." I'm in the wilderness for encounters with wildlife. And to "go to church." Amen.
I've gotten myself into very dangerous situations in the past, usually by stumbling onto something that I didn't hear. Such as twice finding myself between a mother bear and its cubs (once was a black bear, the other was a grizzly/brown bear). Knowing how to behave depending on the animal is important. However, if I ever did get attacked in the wilderness, I would look at it that I was trespassing on land that they were on first, and they won't attack me for robbery or other human purposes, it's out of necessity.
me too, north of the 45th parallel..... Right about the time most cannabis is about to be done with flowering , pretty much everything else vegetative in the woods is dead and dying, And woodland critters are opportunistic feeders..... But when I lived in the southern part of the state I never had any animal mess with a cannabis plant that was past the seedling stage..... I guess it's a matter of options, I dont like kale but if that's all there was to eat , I'd eat kale lol
My pet rabbit, Gandalf, loves kale. It's the backbone of his very well rounded healthy diet. I don't like it myself though. Awesome thing about most strains of kale, is that it's extremely durable and hardy. I've had it planted in my garden for three weeks already. It's the only seed plant I can put out that early. It'll grow even after frost hits.
Man kale is good! Make some chicken and kale soup......good shit! And then just fry it with some garlic and olive oil.........man its good. I know I'm weird lol.
That's not feasible when you've got dozens of deer on and around your property.
Shoot one the others run...wash, rinse, repeat.

Some of those look awesome! But not much beats thin steaks from the back straps, fried in butter in cast iron. With some white bread and a cold ass beer. Fuck man that's good!10 Most Popular Venison Recipes
Looking for fresh recipe ideas for your freezer full of venison? Here's a list of our top 10 most-viewed deer recipes.
Deer get pretty brave around yards, the lights or sprinkler comes on suddenly it will spook them but they wont run far if nothing chases them . Keep the lights on and it wont be long before there eating under it. As far as walking the dog and them just standing well thats what deer do, they stand there still as can be until they know for sure there busted. Take the dog off the leash and see what happens. The deer here know every dog in town,whos on leash whos not and probably when they go out or in. Try other repellents like capsaicin or plant skydd. Plant skyyd is a blood meal product. Blood odor is a danger signal but blood meal obviously a nutrient too so something to consider. Maybe best to not uphold your end of agreement if your good with it. You get a freezer full they get a necessary lesson win win
