Oh, Deer Me!

We've seen what I assume is this same deer in our backyard several times for about a week now. Our yard seems to be a convenient cut through from the timberline across the street and down our fence to the park and on to more coverage. I wouldn't mind at all being the deer highway, except that this Bambi stops to "munch on our garden" as my three year old puts it. She's particularly fond of the tops of tomato, pepper, and strawberry plants. The fencing keeps her out of most of the garden but some is still exposed through the gateway and along the edge. I went to Southern States on Saturday to get some kind of anti-deer product (I hear bear urine is good but a little tough to come by) but they were closed. I'll try again next week.
