Yeah, I live in a neighborhood that's kinda in-between suburban and rural. I.e. a neighborhood of 1/4 acre lots surrounded by mostly protected shrubland. The deer seem to have learned to stay in the neighborhood where they can't be hunted. They often sleep in people's back and sometimes even front yards. I don't really mind them, except for the fact that they'll eat almost anything I try to plant, and even jump my backyard fence to eat their favorite plants.

When I got halfway through your post I already knew I was going to ask about gardening. They eat everything. Everything. Shit that's supposed to be toxic to them. Plant some mint my ass.

Luckily we have a raised porch so we can have a few ferns, peppers, and herbs. They won't walk up all the stairs.

I rent this place but I'm responsible for the back hill up to the next street. I let it grow wild for 6 years. They had their babies back there. Somebody snitched on me to the city and I was lucky I only had to pay someone $600 to clear it. At the time I was literally only in town 48 hours tops per week and I wasn't going to kill myself with a chainsaw when I'm already exhausted.
