FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

I was there the day John Glover cut that deer in half (at Sears Point). I was also there the next race weekend. First lap of the first race after lunch I was in 4th place going around Turn 2 at the top of the hill when I saw a deer leap OVER the leader three places ahead of me. I was real worried he had a buddy that was going to try to jump over me. Fortunately the deer was flying solo that day.

Seems several deer lived in the extensive bushes near the water treatment pond. They spread Puma pee around the track perimeter after that. Didn’t have much effect, though, since the deer were already living inside the track. The deer finally stopped being a problem after the bushes they lived in were cut down. Remove the habitat to remove the critters. Nothing else works.

I recently saw on the Food Network that deer cannot stand the herb rosemary. According to the show host, they will not even attempt to pass through it. I’m not sure if it would work in West Virginia’s climate but you never know.
