I Give Up.... Deer Are Eating Everything!

Top 10 Deer Strategies Having observed so many people get frustrated and ready to throw in the towel because of deer and rabbits, gave me the impetus to write this article. Taking all the pleasure out of gardening, animals can be a ongoing annoying and expensive problem, but that doesn’t mean it is insurmountable. There are ways to combat these critters, but you have to know the strategies that…

Second piece in my series of human infrastructures unintentional effects on wildlife.

the photo I used as direct reference was taken by @strangebiology & used with permission! You can find the whole album on flickr here.

I fell in love with these pictures cause i just think there is such a beauty to them. But also it starts making you think more about human infrastructure.

Idk but i think a lot of us think about fences as benign in the landscape but working on this piece i started thinking more abt, what do fences keep in? What do they keep out? And what do they disrupt or harm? intentionally or not.

when you're a big dramatic collie but the neighbours ducks outside the fence refuse to listen to you so you have to throw a tantrum about it

#it's so tragic nobody takes him serious #even the local deer stopped caring about him barking at them from behind the fence #he also set of the kinda dubious doggy daycare up in the village. they have good reviews but before they put a huge wall up so nobody can #look in there anytime I walked by there were several dogs loose in locked in cars #and the pet food they sell is just relabeled stuff and the boxes with food just stand out there for days in the weather #idk maybe it's fine and i just still harbor negative feelings towards that house from when a guy #basically ran a golden retriever puppy mill in his backyard kennels

i hope my crops do well this year so i can trade them for meat next hunting season

#gotta start planting soon but the weathers been so awful #also gotta fix my fence cause it got knocked down a couple storms ago #or the deer are gonna eat my starters :/

pros of dogsitting home alone at night in countryside surrounded by fields: it's so quiet and peaceful and dark enough you can see so many stars

cons of dogsitting home alone at night in countryside surrounded by fields: there are deer out there in the entirely unlit void and when they scream they sound like human men. help

#i thought i was about to die fr #the dogs started going Off and all i could hear was the deer going HEUGH beyond the fence somewhere #did NOT realise they sounded like that #fredspeaks

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

deer inside the fence of the backyard????? they can jump the fence????? they have no fear of the dogs i was about to let outside before i noticed that they were inside the fence?????

#like we get deer outside almost every morning but INSIDE the fence????? they haven’t done that before #like they’re not afraid of the dogs the dogs will be barking at them and shit and they’ll just stand there and eat grass like they’re aware #that the fence is holding them back but going inside the fence feels unwise

My teeny herb spiral that has been in the planning stages for months now is finally done. Still reconsidering what exactly I want to plant in it.

I've got three kinds of oregano that would probably be better suited to growing around it on the outside (oregano is a mint relative and will spread wildly) but it will probably take me another two months to get out the cultivator and prepare the bed around it rip

#also i initially planned this to grow fenugreek and cumin in and then i didn't finish it so planted those elsewhere #most herbs are deer and rabbit resistant so #didnt want to waste garden space on perennial herbs #eventually there will be a bed up to the fence beside this and a little pathway as well #i am slow at garden projects though

This is a random question, but what do you think the hunters of Artemis would be in a modern au? Like, what job would Thalia and the other girls have, or what would they all study in college?

Depending on AU, like what age groups you're shooting for, I feel like there's a decent number of options you can go for. For them as a cohesive group in aus:

All-girls school

Sorority

Girl scout troop

Rival/sister/neighboring camp to CHB

etc etc.

As for less cohesive group stuff, like jobs or college majors, probably like wildlife/environmental educators, zookeepers, park rangers, wildlife veterinarians, etc. And/or probably studying conservation education, zoology, and similar. Very outdoorsy or generally working with animals, lots of environmental education and conservation work, all that jazz.

Basically the only thing I can picture for Hunters in modern/mundane aus is them all wearing like rubber overalls up to their armpits and wading knee-deep in a swamp catching turtles. Three of them pinning down a gator Steve Irwin-style. Doing those bird of prey shows. All that jazz. Give me the perfect mesh between Thalia being punk as hell but also she gets off of work covered in woodchips and straw and animal poop. That's the vibe.

#pjo #riordanverse #headcanon #headcanons #hunters of artemis #Anonymous #ask #them being a girl scout troop would be extremely funny though too #they just set up selling cookies out front of chb and make BANK #anybody at chb tries to stop them they just end up returning with an armful of cookie boxes like ''...dammit. they got me.'' #but absolutely give me the hunters in a mundane au where theyre like 'we just had to spend 20 minutes getting a deer unstuck from a fence.' #thalia who's constantly a little covered in mud but she embraces it as part of her punk aesthetic and also. she can wrestle snapping turtle #i am suddenly actually really in love with the idea of the hunters all working at a zoo or as wildlife vets/etc #thalia would do bird of prey shows tbh

okay but jewish orthodox communities are fucking nothing like catholic/christian groups of that nature AT ALL

source: I visit Muncy to see family and have seen that family since i was very small, i KNOW this community

and specifically this community...this community where the women cover their hair and wear ankle length skirts, where the men have payot and wont be caught dead withous a tallis, THIS Community where every resturaunt is kosher and you'll be squinted at if you drive on shabbat, THIS COMMUNITY has been so chill. for context i usually stay with my grandparents where we spend all day at an old folks home. not only is most of the staff dedicated, smiley folk from all over the world (jamaican, ukrainian, probably coming in from new york -- not really worth mentioning but they're all so nice and JKLD my grandma's old nurse didnt do half of her job and they still kept her for a year which :( but also yeah!! no xenophobia that i could pick up on, quite the opposite) but even some of the oldest members of the community decide not to follow the religious 'rule.' old ladies will wear pants, shorter skirts, reveal their hair, and they will recieve NO flack for it FROM ANYONE

and when i was sitting outside one time next to a group of old ladies, one of the ladies had a little 1 year old grandson who was bored out of his mind, so as I was waiting for my grandma to get back from a walk i sorta played peekabo with him for the better half of an hour. and the ladies looked over at me and went "oh how nice of you ^^" even though I was (1 very obviously queer (2 very obviously not from the community

and also after my grandma outed me to my slightly more religious aunt (as in EXTREMELY religious WILDLY religious MATRIACH of the community religious), her response was just "shrug. she'll do what she wants. lets get dinner as a family :)"

they almost all have phones, MOST people have access to the internet. it felt like I was walking through the 80s, honestly, kids playing with chalk on the sidewalk and riding bikes and walking to the convenient stores. the biggest drama was the fact that my boy cousin wanted to impress the people he was going to camp with, so he asked his sister to drive over and bring his 'cool' pants, and she was like...'what. why.' 'i want to look cool' 'is everyone wearing dress pants' 'no, just me' 'wh' and she did it anyway so she could pick up icecream on the way back HJGJLDS

and even my littlest cousin, who is very obviously autistic, definitely isn't recieving any school mandated support but is handled with the loving community approach of "oh, let him do as he pleases, he means no harm" and if anyone bullies him they have to deal with his parents

its just AAAAGH its so wholesome, and even as far the more conservative approaches go, its more of a dartboard than a specific community rule. like for instance even if the people nearest to the center of the board were extremely strict with the rules and narrow minded, the people in the outer ranks would be much more accepting. its like different social circles, you cant get ostracized by the entire community because everyone has different levels that they're willing to go, and to everyone in the area its more unusual to be as extreme as my aunt

AHGHHHHH college is making me long for a simpler life drawing chalk on the sidewalks and living in blissful ignorance of what fandom drama is. TAKE ME BAAAACK

#im happy here but man #that sounds like the closest thing to a utopia tbh #they are literally touching grass #oh and more cute stories aaaaaa my aunt wants her fish to keep passover so she buys them fish food without gluten #my aunts neighbors have a playground and she has a trampoline and so all of the kids basically share toys there are NO fences #there are also a lot of mosquitos...and deer #my boy cousin's kepah fell of while he was running and he had to cover his head with his hand #and i told my youngest cousin (11) the loose plot of a 'story' i was 'writing' (it was bb fanfic that I paraphrased as #“this cool 13 year old befriends this crow thing and they solve mysteries” and then like a year later that boy was like *tbh stare* “tell m #about the 13 yaer old again“ and i was like ”OH FUCK WAHT HAVE I DONE“

My little side garden spring to winter

#my garden #native plant garden #except the cosmos and some stuff that just isnt that bad #the random fencing is protecting a tree #and the basket and metal pole was for a turtle egg... I'm not messy i just have deer and coyotes that kill everything

Hey y'all do you have any advice about setting up like those wildlife trail cam things? My backyard kinda backs up into a little bit of forest and deer come into the yard usually at least once a week, and I think my dad would like having a trail cam set up to see more of the deer, and maybe some squirrels or something? I (clearly) know very very little about this, but I think it would make my dad happy to occasionally get notifications from the trail cam like hey! deer alert!

#the person behind the yarn #are they called trail cams? #wildlife cameras #I don't even know where to start #I just think it would make him happy #he gets like noticeably happier when his 'time since I last saw deer' timer resets #he did not enjoy living in a part of California that mostly didn't have wildlife bigger than fence lizards for so long

while im still complaining about the horses. the amending fences esque episode should've been given to starlight. what do you mean they didn't give her a whole episode about her trying to reconcile with her town and having to realize some people will never forgive her and that's still not an excuse to stop trying to be good.

#deer rambles #why was the our town forgiveness scene in a SNIPPET #i thought amending fences sucked i think twilight shouldve said get over it lol #mlp chatter

Lowkey, kinda dislike when someone gets put in a bad situation and is compared to "cornered prey." Have you never considered that a deer's antler could pierce you too? That a rabbit's claws will scratch your eyes as easily as any cat's? That a squirrel will bite if given the chance? Yes, prey prefer to run, to hide, to escape. But if really and truly cornered, prey will fight.

#this is about yandere stuff btw #whoever it is is always compared to "a scared deer/rabbit/<insert prey animal of choice> #I cornered a deer once on accident with my little brother #that thing started slamming into the wire fences to get away #if my dad hadn't told my brother to start backing up it would have charged us #no one cares but i'll post it anyway!

Deercember Day Twenty-One: Pampas Deer | Holly and Hawthorn

The pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus), also known as veado-campeiro in Portuguese and as venado or gama in Spanish, lives in the grasslands of South America at low elevations, specifically across Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. Their common name is derived from the pampas (from the Quechua pampa, meaning "plain"), which are fertile South American low grasslands. It is the only species in the genus Ozotoceros. Their habitat includes water and hills, often with winter drought, and grass that is high enough to cover a standing deer. Many of them live in the Pantanal wetlands, where there are ongoing conservation efforts, and other areas of annual flooding cycles. Human activity has changed much of the original landscape. Pampas deer are among the most genetically polymorphic mammals: their current high nucleotide diversity shows that they had very large numbers in the recent past. They are known to live up to twelve years in the wild, longer if captive, but are threatened due to over-hunting and habitat loss. Many people are concerned over this loss, because a healthy deer population means a healthy grassland, and a healthy grassland is home to many species, some also threatened. Additionally, the pampas deer are very curious and like to explore; although this is endearing to observers, their lack of fleeing at the sight of humans makes them easier for poachers to kill. They will often stand on their hind legs to reach food or see over something. They are sedentary, with no seasonal or even daily migration. They usually feed regularly during the day, but sometimes have nocturnal activity. They may share their range with common crop plants including yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis)—native to Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina, and cultivated elsewhere—and tejocote (Crataegus mexicana), or Mexican hawthorn—native to Mexico and Guatemala, but has been introduced in the Andes and also cultivated elsewhere. Yerba mate is a plant species of the holly genus which is used to brew a caffeine-rich tea called mate when hot, and served cold alongside other components as tereré. Tejocote fruit is one of the most useful among hawthorns, and is consumed cooked, raw, and canned, or brewed into a hot fruit punch known as ponche. More information about pampas deer here, yerba mate here, and tejocote here.
