Fear not, Gary:

Those pesky little "Tanks" will be waddling up your driveway soon. They learned to cross the Rio Grande a couple of decades ago and have been steadily moving northward into Gringo Land. They uproot the entire plant looking for grubs and burrowing insects and are usually nocturnal. You can pretty well track their path by the trail of uprooted plants and dirt mounds left behind.

The deer problem is real and they carry Ticks which can bring us Lyme Disease if they decide to climb aboard humans and have a meal.
