Thought you had sheep ?
You are not going to get much wool from deer. But handy for Christmas if Santa needs them.

You get negative wool from deer⊠they eat the grass that is meant for sheep.
But we like them ⊠they are harmless and make the place interesting⊠just need to keep them out of the veg garden.

What is your solution. 6ft high fence?

My little pitiful garden is not really worth saving!!! Our neighbor, however, has a much larger garden with fence, lights and about everything else to deter the deer!!!

Iâve heard anecdotal advice that if you spread human hair clippings around the garden it keeps the deer away. Then again, you might starve if you depend on the garden and do that. Iâve never tried it.

Sounds like you need to get to work on that.
Mine is messy but productive. We grow snow peas, broccoli and garlic in Winter.
In Summer it is cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini.
Parsnips if I can get a germination⊠they are tricky.

I will try. My sister is a hairdressor so she should have plenty of material.
Do you have any anecdotal tips for keeping rats out of the chook yard?

Last time I distrohopped - probably 2022 - I did run Fedora - for up to 3 months on my AMD desktop system⊠But despite 80% of my job being RPM based distros - I prefer debian / ubuntu / Pop!_OS and apt / debâŠ
I was also unhappy about having to add another yum repo (RPMForge) just to get decent GPU acceleration⊠Canât remember if that was before, or after I switched from NVidia GTX1650 super (2 GB DDR4 VRAM) to a AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPU - it was probably BEFORE I had an AMD GPU.
Closest I have to Fedora currently is a SFF (Gigabyte Brix) running RHEL 8 - I think it has Gnome - but - probably Gnome 3 - but - I never plug it into a monitor.
Iâm not going to post screenshots of my desktop - havenât changed my wallpaper since last year and I have 2 x QHD monitors and I never see my wallpaper anywayâŠ
Hereâs my wallpaper on both monitors - took it with my shonky 5+ year old Galaxy S9+ about 6:15 am in 2023 :
Just across the road from my place - the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) - the water was smooth as glass when I took that photo - until two kayakers came along⊠But thatâs better than when a grammar school (Guildford Grammar) across the river sends out their rowing / sculling teams - which is fine - except the coaches ride in powerboats with megaphones (I always thought the coxswain was supposed to be the coach!).

I ran desktop Fedora for a short time 10-15 years ago. YUM was a nightmare that often caused dependency hell. Back then, my primary reasoning for running Fedora was I ran quite a few WHM/cPanel web servers at the time. All of which were CentOS based and I wanted more experience with RPMs. I switched back to Ubuntu relatively quickly. I did the geek keystrokes of shame and used managed support for most extra package installs just not to have to deal with YUM. 
This time around I installed Fedora on a lark. I wanted the latest KDE for one reason or another. KDE Neon has the latest KDE/Plasma but is based on Ubuntu 22.04 so non-KDE packages are quite stale. You have to add a PPA for the latest LibreOffice, etc.
Fedora feels a lot faster than Ubuntu on the same hardware. This is on both my desktop and laptop. These days DNF has supplanted YUM (though YUM is still available) and the dependency hell seems to be a thing of the past.
I upgraded to Fedora 41 from 40. The process was smooth and uneventful. Itâs running KDE 6.2 which is beta itself. Itâs been pretty stable for me. I realize most people value stability over shiny new things but I like to get the latest features while enjoying my computer a bit instead of just slogging through work.

I love deer but they are some of the dumbest animals on the planet. I live rural and deer are all over the place. Iâve had two run into the side of my car as I was driving by. Iâve hit three others from them sprinting across the roadway from dark shoulders. Thank God for comprehensive insurance coverage.

Thanks Dan. That is what I was fishing for. Fedora seems to have a reasonable team of maintainers.

We live in a rural area. The deer dont seem to be a road problem here, but kangaroos are.
They graze on the road verges and panic when a car comes and can jump into its path. A large roo can demolish a car.
We dont seem to have a solution to the problem of roadkill of native animals.

and a large wombat can do even more damage - their rear end is virtual armour platedâŠ
we donât get wombats this far west⊠no koalas eitherâŠ
But we get lotsa roos, greys, and further inland reds (theyâre HUGE!).
Few years back I was riding out on the Nullarbor (aka âthe big paddockâ) with a bunch of mates on our Harleys, just after sunrise (weâd âswaggedâ it overnight on the ground) - and all of a sudden come around a bend (thereâs not many on the Nullarbor plain!) and thereâs a HUGE RED KANGAROO in the middle of the road - Iâd swear he was 6 foot tall - I was behind the front rider and we both jammed on the anchors, and Mr Roo casually looks up - then hops to our right - PHEW! If heâd gone left one or more of us might have hit him! Brown trouser moment!

Deer versus carâŠ
Actually 3 cars were ruined by that one deer.
Funny, that this deer had only 3 legs, probably lost one leg in a similar accident years ago.

Problem here is wild boars they come from the sides at a great speed and do lots of damage, well known and the assurance has a special fund to pay for repairs.
Not the same as drunk englishs men at the bar !
