I was told by the previous owner that there were lots of deer. In the beginning I saw evidence of bedding locations. I have only seen three or four deer over the years. But one year when there wasn't much rain and the pond was low, I found deer tracks around the pond. I have not been living there until last summer, I spent several months getting it ready to move permanently. I will be moving there in the next few weeks and hope to get my cabin winterized and the raised garden beds mostly built and a couple of cold frames ready before fall.
