Maybe they will notice when the migrants start to hunt those half tame deer living on the outskirts of cities (I have visited once, nearly 30 years ago, and from what I have read online they are even more tame these days. Whitetail?).
A few years ago I rented a room out of a house in Cleveland Heights, and I saw more deer than squirrels. The backyard was fenced off but didn't have a gate, and a whole family if deer would frequently wander in and just lay down.
The deer walk around almost like pets, and not just in the outer suburbs, but the inner more urban suburbs as well. Can you blame them? Nobody hunts them there. Their other natural predators aren't as keen to be around people, so they are not as prevalent in the suburbs to catch deer, and people's flower beds are like deer buffets, neatly laid out for casual dining.
Talk to my wife after she cusses the deep for eating her flowers, right next to our bedroom window! Heck, we have so many in our neighborhood they raise a middle hoof at us as though they are owed a free meal of flowers, grass, fruit trees and wheat we have growing on our small city lot. They are like locust, yet living inside of the city limits we cannot cull the herds. Grrrr
