But I'm in town, in a place with lots of fencing, so I don't think it was deer, but something much smaller. I tried twice, frist time they got to about 5 inches tall and got mowed down, second time I caged them up, only took off the cages when they were big enough, I thought, to be safe - 3 or 4 feet high with small ears starting up. Should have left them caged. Absolutely devastated.
