The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission estimates there are now more than a million white-tailed deer in our state. They have exceptional hearing and eyesight, making them hard to fool, even in low-light conditions. The whitetail eats mostly in the early morning and at twilight, enjoying green-leaved succulent plants and the tender new growths of stems and fruits. And, unfortunately, that can include your backyard garden!

We’ve put together a collection of four resources to further aid gardeners in their quest to protect their garden bounty.
