Need to hunt down the neighbours first, then nobody can frown upon hunting deer anymore.

I learned that many states allow you to keep/claim roadkill if you have a tag.

Just saying, if you happen to runover a few deer, its not quite hunting, but your plants are safe and the freezer is full of venison. Win/win.

Urine can help drive them off, we used to deal with them always eating mom’s flowers.

Crossbows can stop deer without all that racket and gunpowder smoke.
