by the squirrels. Sometimes the deer nuzzle the feeders and get seed out

to feed the deer than the bird seed. And they ate the corn more than seeds.

Her and her hubby just bought a good sized piece of property in Tennessee and are building a house there. All the builders want permission to hunt on the property, and she says that no one is hunting there. I asked her what she will do when all the deer are eating all of her trees and bushes and flowers......and she said that she will just have to get new ones.

I understand her feelings, I would feel the same way....but I am not sure how it would work in real life.
