So I have this deer in my yard.

Before the snow fell he would wander through and eat grass and some of the corn and stuff I put out to keep deer like him from eating my bushes. Noticed that he had the diarrhea then.

Now snow has fallen and he still comes into the yard, last few days he has been pretty lethargic and today he was hanging around in front of my garage.

Went to leave for dinner and saw that he had diarrheaed in front of my garage, gross. So I put some cocoa hull mulch on it to cover it up (frozen)

Got home tonight and he was sleeping on the mulch right in front of garage - barely lifted his head when I parked and walked by him.

Can't kill him as no guns and live in town.

What do I do?

>Choke 'em out.

Probably call animal control. Nothing you can really do where you live, or realistically if you lived somewhere else, maybe put a water bowl out for it?...

I hear once you feed them they won't leave.

There are a lot of diseases that could cause it, most of which can be cured with antibiotics. I'd give your local animal control or wildlife rehab place a call. They will most likely check into it if they don't want it to spread to other deer.
