Backyard invasion?

For the last week I have seen a doe and a super cute speckled fawn around my rural home. They are not afraid of me or the dog(she is tethered) but you let out my shop cat a white Maine * cross breed and they run like stupid. How much meat is on a fawn? They also like to play in the road.

    These things are so stupid you can get them with a ball bat.

    Long story short, I was pulling into our drive at the cabin last week and spooked a doe and her fawn. I stopped and let the truck sit and idle while I kept watch. Yep the fawn still in spots came up from out of the woods and sniffed the headlights. Damn, if my arms were just a little longer. I hear they taste like veal [:p]

    My wife is ready to take a ball bat to the ones around our house. They've eaten all her flowers, picked her plants down to nubs and picked off her tomatoes when they were small. They've even come upon the porch and eaten flowers and plants out of pots. They run though people's yards like dogs around here. I was mowing the lawn last week and I looked around and there was two of them standing there looking at me like I was disturbing them.

    I had to fence in my Hydrangeas this year so that they wouldn't eat them to the ground. Hoping to get atleast one bloom out of them this year.
