No. I didn't shoot a deer or hit one on the road. All I did was beat them to the strawberry patch left for us by the previous owner of the cabin. Last year we "inherited" a very productive peach tree and were within a few days of harvesting it, when we were aced out by deer with assistance from squirrels. All they left for us was a pile of peach pits.
As the strawberries started to come in, I kept close watch and yesterday picked three ripe ones and added one more this morning. They were pretty tasty and the prospect is for more to ripen if I can get there before "they" do. For now it's four for us and none for them, but, it's early in the game, and they may decide that less-than-red berries taste better to them than they do to us.
Meanwhile, I'll keep close watch on the figs, plums, peaches as well as the non-fruit growth so we can enjoy it before they eliminate it. Sure is fun being in the country and have so much of God's creation to enjoy and appreciate. We are blessed.
