Deer all over the golf course. They pay no attention to us at all. Had to chase one off a tee the other day so I could mow it.








All you’d need to hunt these critters is an apple and a hammer.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I have a golf course 1/4 mile up the road from me. See deer on it a lot . I always wonder how many toxins they have in them from the herbicide and fertilizer?
 Because those deer come down in my woods..

Some states are posting warnings and NO eating of deer in areas found to have "forever chemicals" in venison. Not sure how they do the sampling, but the liver would be the primary do not eat. Is it like the fish samples where they grind up the entire fish? Either way sad to see.

They don’t eat grass Dom. They browse leaves, buds, apples, crab apples the nearby corn. Never seen a deer eat any grass anywhere. Grass just doesn’t have the nutrients they need so they don’t bother with it. I see them eating acorns, maple leaves and leaves off bushes mostly. That is until the apples are around.

Everyone thinks golf courses spew chemicals all over the place. But it’s not true for the most part. Only tees, and approaches get any kind of herbicides.  The majority of liquid fertilizers and insecticides also go to tees, approaches and greens and that’s not very often.

Fairways get a couple shots of granular per year. Fungicides are the main product sprayed and what we use is organic. It’s a high concentrate of similar home organic treatments such as Bonide Liquid Copper. The other major applications  are growth regulators. Fact is the products are crazy expensive. The budget for our application program is in the area of $60k and probably should be more.

A lot of our organic fertilizer comes from the irrigation system which is fed by the main pond. The whole property is built around a swamp system that stretches for miles. Lots of soluble organic matter there.

I wouldn’t worry about eating the deer.

They don’t eat grass Dom.


They actually do eat grass, but other stuff more than grass.
So, your suggestion that deer are probably not being contaminated from the herbicides and pesticides used on golf courses is a safe bet.
However, I would want to eat any of the fish from golf course ponds.

As for your statement about the poisons not being all over the course, I will definitely take exception to this Bob.
We have had a few golf courses close in the area (up north) and the remediation issues are huge before anyone can do anything on those lands.
Southshore CC is one.  It sits dormant because of the litigation, etc. going on.  Originally, there were plans for condos, but that came to a screeching halt.
Also google Westwood CC in Amherst.
That's a real shipstorm.

Here is a link to one article describing it.  But there's tons more.

https://buffalonews.com/news/local/new-toxins-found-at-former-westwood-country-club-site-in-amherst/article_cab308a8-e4a6-5bff-b1c1-a941c171c8f6.html


I also remember the drums of toxins found at the old Creekside course out off Niagara Falls Blvd back in the early 80's.
That was crazy.


The toxins don't stay where they are used.
They spread through the water underground, etc.
Also, just because a course uses "safer" chemicals today doesn't eliminate or reduce what was spread in the past.

Golf courses are some of the highest contaminated parcels of land.
And the older they are, the more contaminated they are.

Can’t speak for past practices or courses in your area. After all, “Love Canal” was in your back yard.

Farmers used DDT for ages. We know better now. As for your contaminated golf courses, I only speak for current practices at our course. Ours has been a “Forever Wild” habitat since it’s inception. Lord knows what the residents in the $500k homes have put on their lawns, but I know what we put on our course.

Residential neighborhoods are, to me, the largest contributors to passive pollution. They hire the “lawn perfect” companies to dump loads of “stuff” on their picture lawns that end up in our streams and lakes.

Anyway, I wouldn’t worry about eating the deer. And, I’ve never seen a deer eating grass.

I wouldn’t eat any fish from that pond either.
Just because!
