All they have to watch out for is cars. At first, suburbanites who have deer in the woods they share with the rest of the development are excited at the prospect of having Bambi call their yards home. Pretty soon, though, deer begin to lose their cuteness. They put big dents in expensive automobiles. They eat everything you try to grow in the garden.
Bucks get downright ornery during the mating season.
And then there's Lyme disease. Before you know it, the same suburbanites who once loathed the idea of getting rid of their antlered neighbors, now loathe the deer. Before coming to work in Lancaster, I was a reporter for a newspaper in Norristown. One of the stories I covered was the war waged by the residents of neighborhoods that surround Valley Forge National Park on the resident deer. These people meant business.
