The chestnuts have begun to fall out of their thorny placenta; the deer left us 4 chestnuts out of dozens of downed spiky softballs and 25 piles of deer shit for the next round of chestnuts to fall into. They brazenly picked out their favorite garden crops by walking all over everything they didn't want to eat inorder to get to the stuff they liked. They ate the Sunflowers, the Strawberries, the Potato tops, the Nasturtium and the Tomato & Pepper tops. The most disturbing disregard for our sustainability came at the cost of our Nectarine tree that was almost completely deleafed, it had been the healthiest plant in the garden. These crazy looters even ate the Cayenne Pepper plant, including a few peppers.
Now when I call them looters I must clarify. Most "looters" you will find reference to in the media are either super hungry from surviving a disaster or are those striking a blow against capitalism/oppression or injustice. I don't really have a problem with those "looters". These deer were welcomed into our yard to eat from our excess even though they have several hundred acres of lush forestation to eat from. As soon as we turned our back, they insulted our kindness by stealing anything they could get their hoofs on. It's going to cost them.
I never thought I say this but... You Loot, We Shoot. LOL
Don't believe me? Just ask those Groundhogs that ate the broccoli and cauliflower.
