Identify Deer Damage   Deer have no front teeth but strip bark by raking their incisors upward, making a two-inch gouge. When deer eat foliage, they tear it off, leaving ragged edges, while rabbit and rodent browsing leaves a clean-cut edge. Also, they eat lower parts of trees, up to the height they can reach standing on their hind legs, usually between six and ten feet.       Havahart® offers deer control solutions such as   deer repellents to help you with your deer control needs.
