I've been aware that they have become a deer nuisance for quite a while now. Before my mother passed away, she lived near Cowichan Bay on the island. Suffice to say that the four-legged nuisances ate most of her rare flowers. She had to switch to heather in order to find something that they would not eat (and put up extra fencing to defend the few floral survivors).

Needless to say, she was *not* amused.
