When its all done and you can sit and watch put a mineral block about half way between the house and the pond and enjoy watching the deer.
We are nearly overrun with deer. Funny you mention it, but when I awoke on Mon am in our tiny 120 sq ft home/shed, I stepped out the door into the crisp early morning forest air, rubbed my eyes, and took 2 steps to the corner of the building. I came eye-to-eye with a doe, maybe 35 feet away. I was still sleepy and this caught both of us a little off guard. 1/2 step more to see around the corner and 2 junior bucks were right behind her. We all went into a stare down until she snorted like a freight train and they bounded off into the woods.
