The leaves on my sweet bell pepper plants look like deer have been nipping them. I cannot see tracks for the plants are in raised beds in the yard.

I know for a fact they will eat roses! My neighborhood deer are wearing out my roses. And surprisingly, they are also eating my neighbors tomato plants. I didn't think deer would eat those.

Here's two of my rose-eaters. And this picture wasn't taken with a trail-camera. I took it with my pocket digital camera at midnight three nights ago. The bucks had been bedded down asleep in the front yard. I eventually walked up within 10 feet of the closest buck. He had no fear of me. He even played with my cat, sniffing him all over and following him around the yard.
