Just thought about it and thought y'all might want to know. Back a few years ago a fellow told me how to keep deer out of your crops. You beat 1 egg, add 1 cup of cheap dishwashing liquid,to 1 gal of water and spray around the edge of garden or field. I have used it several times and the deer didn't eat up peas or anything else.
Reapply after a big rain or 2 to 3 weeks.

Joe, That sounds like a lot easier answer than last time I stumbled across a tread on this topic. It was SEVERAL years ago, I don't remember exactly where.....But the whole discussion was based on the premise that a deer could jump a long distance, and a high distance, but not long and high at the same time. Therefore, the theory was to build two fences, maybe a 4 foot and 6 foot fence running parallel to one another, the discussion centered around what was the optimum space to have in between the two fences. They needed to be far enough apart to make it too long of a jump, yet close enough not to allow room for the deer to turn it into a two jump scenario. An interesting discussion, but it sounded like a whole lot of work for something that may or may not work. Especially if an egg and dish washing liquid can get the job done.  |

Electric fence 6 ft high. single strands about one ft apart. or a five ft. high none electric with an 18 inch extension positioned at a 45 degree angle toward the out side. like the prison fences. if the deer are persistent, use both. dd2

I have used electric fence chargers. Deer break the wire, One charger I had was an old weed chopper. Deer got into the fence tore it down, and the weed chopper pulse set the field on fire. This is easier and safer.

Contact a local barber or hairdresser and have them save all of the hair clippings. Take the hair and scatter it around the edges of your garden. This is one of the best deer repellents because the scent of a human is very repulsive to them and it last a long time.

We've hung Irish Spring soap in pantyhose around the edges. The benefit is that rain re-activates it. Floating row cover over vulnerable crops is also quite effective.

My daughter has a campus landscaping job at BYU, in Provo, Ut they use small sponge paint brushes dipped in wolf urin. Then put in ground around plants. A dog works well too.

I dunno about the dog pee. My two males pee on just about any upright bush/tree/fence post/etc around here and the deer still come up on the backporch wanting to know when I'm going to plant them some more blueberry bushes.  Ed |

the Federal Govt has taught us in Wyoming that there is a difference between dogs and wolves. We can shoot dogs, even around Yellowstone Park, if they attack deer.
