Do you retail pool covers? -- nm - mara May 21, 17:11 16
- yep. $$ -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:11 15
  - They cost a lot of Bucks -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:12 14
    - So does not using them. - nevermind May 21, 17:15 13
      - they had a cover. loop lock. The deer's hooves make holes, they fall, struggle, then tear open a whole big enough to fall in. sucks -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:20 12
        
        whole=hole obvie -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:23
        
        aahh. Cost bucks either way. - nevermind May 21, 17:23 3
        
        It's a lot of Doe too -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:23 2
        
        And really quite dear. -- nm - Meg May 21, 17:30 1
        
        I wouldn't fawn all over it though -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:31
        
        Wow. -- nm - mara May 21, 17:22 6
        
        here's basically why it happens (inside) - CQ May 21, 17:29 5
        
        This is sad. I thought the cover would prevent that, but sounds like nothing other than a fence would. -- nm - mara May 21, 17:31 3
        
        We have a seriously huge amount of deer out here and pretty much everyone has a pool, so... -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:34 2
        
        And the fences have to be really high. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 17:35 1
        
        yep, usually 10 feet -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:37

Looks like we better lay low, fellas. -- nm - Bear mafia May 21, 17:11
I had no idea this was a common problem. - loosi at home May 21, 17:00 9
- It wasn't dead long enough for me to even think of wanting the skull. mushy dead waterlogged deer not fun -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:08 8
  - Ugh, how do you even dispose of something like that? I know fresh road-kill can be used by zoos and sanctuaries. -- nm - Meg May 21, 17:13 6
    - luckily, they lived in a very wooded area where we could wheel barrel it away to the very edge of the property -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:23 4
      - go back in three months, then I want the skull. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 17:35
      - I had visions of you putting it in their trash dumpster :) -- nm - Meg May 21, 17:26 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:30
      - At the forest preserves around here they either give the bodies to a couple of local sanctuaries or drop them in little used areas of the forest prese - nevermind May 21, 17:24
    - When I was a kid we donated our old horse to the zoo. - Bacon May 21, 17:14
  - But I'll check on the carcass in about 3 weeks for it -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:09
:( - ick. poor deer and you. -- nm - b. May 21, 16:57 6
- Job Security -- nm - Bacon May 21, 16:57 5
  - And dinner. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 16:58 4
    - and on that gag-inducing note, off I go. (shh, sneaking-out way early-for-me to run an errand and get home in time to watch the sharks.) -- nm - b. May 21, 17:04 1

    - You can't eat that ... - Beryllium May 21, 17:01 1
      - Just heat the pool really hot -- nm - Bacon May 21, 17:02
