I've run into a very dangerous situtation in our area.
We have moved next to people who INSIST on feeding the wild deer, not to hunt, but to be able to view from their deck and backyard, which is completely fenced off, but NOW, we got all these wild BUCKS in our yard too, since we have NO fence whatsoever!
This puts our lives at risk, not only due to the hazards of Lyme Disease, which there are no longer shots for now for humans, but also for our cats, no vaccines for them too!
Also, the bucks are not that young, I've seen 10 point bucks at almost noontime, 2 bucks fighting outside our bedroom window at the time we needed to get to work, which was near where we park our vehicle, and even 10 minutes after we went out to the street to get our mail, we saw a wild buck with at least 6 point antlers!
The 2 bucks fighting were seen only about 2 weeks ago, and there was even a wild doe standing right NEXT to them!
How does one keep one's safe? Is there any laws concerning firing off BBguns with city limits, not that that is going to really BE that safe, if you got mating bucks around, but we have to do SOMETHING!
Don't be flaming me on this post! I've got a heart condition, which is only getting worse with all the stress of seeing all this huge wildlife near our home!
I'm definitely in favor of having hunters come and cull these deer but of course, the local government, couldn't care less, even though we're very close to a public park, which kids often go to also!
Even some of the local vets don't even HAVE the Lyme disease shots available, nor will even be willing to put up posters asking people to NOT feed the wild deer, as not only are we at risk of being attacked by wild bucks, but also getting Lyme disease, as are our pets!
I've thought of contacting the CDC cuz obviously this is a health risk, but as is often the case in our area, they have to wait til a tragedy occurs, before they are willing to do ANYTHING!
This is SO stupid.. the next door neighbor's relative, who recently moved in with them, is eager to get the ANTLERS off the wild bucks, and so, does NOT care that they are putting our very lives in danger!
I've yet to write them anything, but HAVE asked them to NOT put out any more food for the deers, like the huge piles of corn kernels and apples which they stuck all over their yard.
Of course, the deer, ALSO come into OUR yard, cuz we dont have any sort of fence to keep them at bay!
This is NOT our property, we just lease, and the landlord does NOT seem to give a fig about our safety either, he just claims "it will go away eventually"!
That about low-lifes! I just cannot see HOW people are SO against hunting, when it keeps people safe and free from danger and disease!
Of course, we got alot of "nature lovers" if you want to call them that, but to my mind's eye, when you live off a busy road, and you're inviting deer to come onto your property, within walking distance of a city park, and endangering the motorists and your neighbors also, you're NOT a lover, you're a HATEFUL person, and only thinking of yourself!
How do you find out about the local hunting laws, or firing off a bb gun? I hate to always have to do that every time I step outside, but to NOT to ANYTHING is putting our lives in danger!
Would firing off a airgun.. like you'd use on a boat, those loud things do much to get the deer to stay away? We've tried the wild predator urine, but we get so much rain around here, it would cost a fortune to do it all the time!
