I had to install a Real Estate sign on Old Brook Trail in Mendon a few years ago . I was required to talk to the home owner to make sure where the property line was as her house sets back from the road . She was probably around 80- 85 years old . She had a couple of signs on her garage which led me to believe that she was an anti hunter .
I asked her if she was one of those Peta folks . She said ," I used to be but those damned deer eat my shrubs , flowers , and garden and I have to replant every year ." She also said , " I wouldn't care if they killed every damned deer there was" ! Soooooo , some people change their tune when God's little creatures have an adverse effect on their lives .
Apparently the deer in Connecticut had become a nuisance in the community and homeowners wanted them culled to reduce the damage they cause .
