If the deer are truly bothering you, they are simple to snare and no one needs to know but you.

I remember one night just East of Susanville, CA. I had to slowdown to 15 MPH for about 50 miles, at that time in my life that was the most deer I had ever laid eyes on in a few hours.

good luck

If you want to keep the deer out of the garden, and away from your shrubs. Get some Irish Spring soap. A few bars hung on a fruit tree will protect them. Don't need to unwrap the bars, just stick some wire through them, and hang from a branch. You can also scatter them through the garden. Hang them on a stick a couple feet from the ground.

Ric,

That doesn't work, at least not on all deer. I worked part time in a hardware store in a small town up in Ohio that had a terrible deer problem right in town. Folks use to come in all the time asking what would keep deer away. Everything was tried like the soap, human hair, etc. The one thing I heard, but didn't know anyone trying, was tiger poop!!! It was told to me that since the tiger is one of the greatest predators, that all animals recognize the scent of it's poop...as a great predator. I did talk to a person that worked at a zoo and said they give away every bit of tiger poop they have.

Now as an aside I read a university study about whitetail deer. In a test they had an area where deer would come. The wanted to see what animals deer don't mind and which ones they do. Well this area the deer frequented, they laced with cow manure, horese poop, sheep poop. Nothing, the deer paid no attention to it. Next they tried coyote, wolf, and dog poop. Viola!!! no deer, the deer would not come back. So maybe there is something to predator poop. Then again, maybe I don't know Jack Shyt.

Maybe one of the cosmetic labs can come up with the smell of a tiger, lion, or whatever predator, and market each scent seperately. The chemicals used would necessairly have to be commensurate with the carrier used, and that can pose a real downer for the guys making the "smell" accurate enough to work. ... felix

Felix,

Sound easier, and cheaper, to go run to the Bum Factory and get the real thing.

HAR!

Lastnight, at 12:30 a.m., I went on Safari.

Equipped with me Magnum (.22 that is) and 3 cell light, I decided that enough is enough. I will not elaborate....but I came home with an empty magazine and I didn't miss. The buzzards are at work and the canine critters will enjoy goat for a few days.

Joe, I ain't got no tiger poop handy. And I recall the deer weren't all that impressed around here, with dog poop, either. They would still come around. The Irish Spring works for me. Or, maybe it was our agreement, if they left my stuff alone, I wouldn't eat them!

What!?! Did you give up venison?!?

You must have a heck of a lot of Elk in your freezer!!

[Four Fingers of Death]

Trespass, thats a capital offence isn't it? At least for deer I think it is,
