Not sure if this fits here as although deer are wildlife, I think the forum is about attracting wildlife - I need to know how to persuade one to leave!
Arrived last weekend - and is still there, tucked under the leylandii behind the greenhouse. It's munched what was left of the overwintering lettuce, but doesn't appear to fancy the overwintered parsnip tops, parsley or celery!
The challenge is how to get rid of him (muntjak, quite a big one) - we are in the middle of the village, and it's not that big a garden - I don't know where he's come from, as although there are deer outside the village, we're not really close to fields (actually we are surrounded by houses!)...
I'm assuming he arrived looking for food (as we first saw him after the Friday night snowfall) - any thoughts on persuasion in the opposite direction?
thanks!!
