>>382801I read somewhere that a study by several state DNR agencies has found that whitetail deer are becoming nocturnal animals,
as those deer which move around in the daytime tend to end up on a hunter's dinner table.
This means the deer eating OP's flower beds are probably doing most of the damage at night or before dawn, when he's not
awake to let a dog out to run them off.
Best bet is to get one of those motion sensing sprinklers, as the deer will get blasted with cold water whenever they enter his
yard and learn to avoid OP's house, eating his neighbor's flower beds instead.
