Colchester Hunting Nov 16

Fishing and soccer season are over and hunting season has begun. I took a course and and missed the turkey season this year. The good news is that my tree stand survived the snow storm. How has the acorn crop been this year? Where I hunt there aren't any acorns, so hopefully we'll have more deer movement this year.

How to Stop Plant Eating Deer

Colchester Connecticut has the same problems as most towns with hungry deer. Last spring, one deer came every night to eat my Hosta. I built noisy scare crows. I kept lights on. I sprayed perfume and smelly soap on or around the plants. I put human hair in my garden and nothing worked.

Then I used one of the trail timers with a built in camera. The flash that the camera uses to take night photographs scared her away for the rest of the growing season. It also took pictures of some opossum and skunks moving through the yard.
