Anybody else seeing more deer in the yard this spring?

Five does in the back forty this morning. Most I've counted at once in a while. Wife says the neighbors have been losing tulips. Just an observation. Mild winter probably.

Worse here than I can remember. They ate every tulip I planted and now they are working on the hostas. My dogs go nuts at the back door every morning

Yep. Had a doe and two yearlings standing in my driveway at 6am last Tuesday like they owned the place. They are eating my hostas down to nubs. The mild winter probably didn't thin the herd much. Going to have to break down and put up some fencing around the garden this year.
