I have a few different grow spots and everytime I go to check on them I notice some of my babies are missing. And there are some very suspicious deer tracks around them. What can I use to chase them away that I wouldn't have to apply all the time or at most a few times a week/month? Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanx,

Well, Get some cage stuff to put around your plants. and also if this is possible to get. Get some deer blood and spread it around the area if they smell that a deer has died they will not come around the area.
there are deer repellant pellets you can buy too from sporting goods stores and garden centers located where deer are a problem (not all stores carry them but are online too) but they don't always work...best advice i was given for getting around the critters is plant more seeds...some for you and more for them. had a problem here with a packrat until my jack russel finally caught the bastard yesterday! i HAD 7 mk x hz...now 2. but planted more to more than cover the losses and i don't think any more packrats are about. btw, packrat = a semi-mouse, semi-rat rodent about the size of a guinea pig fully grown.
piss around your plant (not on plants)
I think that would work, and be the easiest.Quote:

I don't think he has been out there pissing around his plants before, so its worth a try.Quote:

Maybe its blood that will work, seems to make sense.
ive always heard that irish spring soap bars around the grow area work...but the other day i was reading something saying it does work, but attracts rats because they eat the fat in the soap.
I also read to make a circle around your area of fishing line pulled tight and the deer normally wont go through.
people say you can buy panther urine, or fox urine, what ever is in your area and, that detears certain animals, not sure about deer.
doe in heat scent works great.. no jk. human piss, shit, soap, chicken wire, fishing line around your plot at different levels scares them cuz they dont like things touching them that they cant see. also predator scents such as cayote, wolf and mountain lion are available online and possibly at your local hardware store.
Got this from a swedish outdoor grow-guide.
This sign is said to scare the deers, i also heard about cellophane pieces here and there around the grow-area,
thing is that it isnt stealth anymore using these methods.
