I Hate Deer

[woodhippy]

I Hate Deer, I have done everything know to man. Except drop them on site.
They have killed 50 strawberry plant all my tomatoes and Pot Plants. Now they took all my flowers, Green Beans and Squash.
The 800 bucks I have spent on plants, fencing, And Deer control methods are A waste of time.
I Hate Deer. Done with everything outdoors. Gonna cut my losses and let my whole garden die. F them deer.
Rant Done. I will go hide under my rock and Pout.

60 steel post at 6 bucks each. Adds up fast. Thinking next 500 buck should be on a Crossbow and deer stand.
Time to feed the Needy. Might be shipping free deer jerky this winter.

Might be the only resolution maybe dropping a couple will warn the rest not to go over to those neck of the woods lol. And wild meat is a lot better than the store bought crap.

Get yourself a container with a lid. I use a 2.5 gallon plastic jug that originally held cat litter. Whatever you got.......1 egg per gallon of water...I use 3.crack them and throw them in, screw the lid on..........let that fester in the sun for a day or 3.........then pour that wherever you don't want them. They go away and seem to stay away. Eggs are cheap

This is a great tip, never heard of it. I don't do outdoor around deers but that's worth writing down right there.

I got it many moons ago on a Hosta forum. It works. I'm due myself actually. I'd never see a hosta without this trick.

The deer must be habituated to your garden. Nothing besides killing those deer will get them to stop unfortunately.

Same thing happens with nesting birds. If they built a nest there years prior then they'll never leave.

Short of having dogs out there chasing them away then its going be deer jerky for the win.

Was just reading about double fencing. Deer dont have good depth perception so they dont like to long jump if you run two fence one 5ft from the other they wont want to jump in between and wont jump both fence so they just go around. Not sure if it works but I am going to be putting it to the test soon.

 

[Trichitect]

I haven't tried it myself, but I 've heard that a couple of strands of fishing line run outside of your fence, like the double fence idea, will freak them out when they bump into it before jumping over the real fence. Just a thought, cause it seems slightly easier than erecting another entire fence!

I rescued a couple of Deerhound mixes last summer. No more deer in my roses and blueberries, and they were tearing me up.

 

[GthaEnigma]

What a couple of handsome dogs.

Thank you! They are way bigger than I was looking for, but when I saw 'em, it was all over for me. I told the wife I wouldn't get anything over 40 lbs.

Heh.

Deer Jump over a regular fence so you need to build tall. In the mountains here I saw a fence made of bamboo poles and the plastic kind of bird netting. It didn't look like much but they said it kept the deer off the plants.

A skillet and oil and onions...Fork them deer!

 

[Psychobilly]

I have to admit when I saw the topic my first thought was Medium rare and black pepper lol. 800 dollars buys a decent amount of bullets and as long as it's legal in your area, stock your freezer bro. Deer ate the corn we had going one year but they seem to leave the rest of our plants alone.

I did see a bunny take a nibble of a giant red Thai Chili pepper and then do a weird sideways jump so I imagine he figured out leaving my crops be lol.

Didn't give up hope bro, blast one and grab the back straps, get the roast and burger cuts, and leave the rest, they generally aren't gonna keep trying once a few of them die from "lead poisoning" with a "remote protein collection device" lol.

Get a dog, start pissing around the garden, and dump hair from haircuts around the edges.

Nice @Willie, we used to go catch carp lay them 20 feet around the plants, deer will stay clear of any dead animal. Perhaps it’s the smell like the eggs.

My grandfather had a garden patch and protected it with a electric fence, not to say that one arrant deer got in it on occasion but for the most part they didn't have issues. Same fence was a little more powerful than most, it would snip off the tops of grass when the wind blew and even killed a few small animals so if you have small animals then I wouldn't recommend.
