Judging by the lack of replies I suspect your problem is a local one, bud. I'd love to be a fly on that particular wall (or fence!) The few times I've experienced the presence of deer in the wild, usually whilst tucked away in a quiet fishing spot, has been very special.
Your reply gave me a chuckle . . . "special" sightings happen close to daily here. The whitetail deer are at close to nuisance levels. They have fawns twice a year, sometimes two at time. I have seen small herds of them (5 to 10 individuals). They eat just about any plant you can think of; beans, roses thorns and all), okra . . . oddly, I have never seen them bother lettuce or anything in the mustard or onion families. When I have to commute into Atlanta, I leave when it's dark, and nearly always see one or two, sometimes more.
People do hunt them, but this area is residential, so that can't happen here. I wouldn't be interested anyway (no venison for me). If they wander elsewhere (non-residential), the hunters can have them!
My best option is a fence.
