Hummm, sounds like your house in unlucky enough to be right on one of the normal wondering paths of the deer. And then to top it off you dogs aren't barking at them. Now I understand your delemia. Other then a fence which I am sure you don't want I am not sure what to tell you to do, other then get the dog pictured above....

On a more serious note if you have plants you would like to save that you can not bring inside, you can get blood meal in the gardening section of Aubochons and sprinkle a little around the plants you don't want taken as a snack. This seems to help to some degree....... Of course my neighbors and I all have dogs that bark and chase the deer (of course none of them would know what to do if they caught the deer, especially the Shi Tzu my mother used to have), so we don't see the deer on our section of the road much at all anymore...
