Okay... if not something physical to keep the deer from creating havoc... then let's get metaphysical. Because in this scenario it's not us OR them... it's US AND THEM. Everyone loses. I'm seriously exploring more holistic/metaphysical approaches to the problem. I'll keep you posted if and when I experience some sort of revelation on the topic of deer/human safety. Meanwhile....
