Did Rose Allin shoot Bambi's mother in a past life? The Ontario woman has to wonder why she's being annoyed by deer ringing her doorbell. They also don't run away like a neighborhood kid would.
When the deer annoyed Allin by ringing her doorbell, she tried coming out after them with her cane to yell at them. But the woman decided when the doe who'd woken her up that morning started to snort and scratch the ground, she'd better back off.
The Calgary Sun said Allin's nephew warned her not to try annoying the deer who were ringing her doorbell despite the fact it was bugging her. "Don't you know they could put a hoof right through you?" he told her. Granted, horns are more likely, but it's the principle of the warning that's the thing.
The simple solution to being a woman annoyed by deer ringing your doorbell is not available to Ms. Allin, unfortunately. Since she's in a developed area, she can't hire a deer hunter to sit on her porch and shoot the bell-ringers. A pity, since it'd both solve her problem and fill her freezer.
And while Allin's not the only woman annoyed by deer, despite having an oddly attractive doorbell for them to ring, her neighbors contributed to her distress. In 2008, her hometown of Kenora had to pass a law forbidding people to feed any wildlife other than birds. People really need to remember that Bambi isn't our friend in real life.
And whie the Kenora, ON woman has tried to modify her doorbell to keep the deer from ringing it, to her annoyance, it didn't work. So Rose Allin either has to learn how to tell the deer she isn't interested in whatever they're selling or hope the winter drives them away. And perhaps grow deer-repellent plants in the spring.
