DEER

One of my spots a deer tranpled through and killed 2 babies :-(. They have only been in the ground 2 days there. Please share your best methods for detering these clumsy fuckers:D

use fox piss or jus piss a couple times around the perimeter of ya plants

Yea, i read that woks REALLY well.

fox piss wont work,deer are atracted to urine, it brings them in by curiosity.

RecipeSource: Herbed Venison & Mushroom

:D

To be serious though, that hot pepper wax that comes in the red bottle works winders. Reapply after rainstorms. Won't stop trampling, but will prevent munching...

For the trampling, a fence would work- or some other physical barrier that would keep deers away.

just sit out there with a gun and wait for them to come by... lol

I chase deer outta my yard constantly, they will come right to my front doorstep to eat my tomato plants ... I've tried piss (nope), Irish Spring soap shavings (nope), yelling at them (nope), pellet rifle (nope) ... but, I haven't tried the .357 yet :wtf:
they do sell a 'deer-fencing' fairly cheaply, that does work ... looks like a cheap string fishnet ... for some reason the deer freak out when they get close to it, evidently they don't see it too well, and freak when their nose bumps into it ... :smokin:

Good advice all. So far this year ive lost 7 babies to deer trampleing :-(.

Ive been sprinkling piss and trying to build natural stick barriers near my plants. Might try some liquid fence type thing if I can find it.

pepper deer spend alot of time sniffing around and you know what a nose full of pepper will do it works well for those pesky wabbits too and its cheap put it all over the place i hope this helps


good luck-Bomb

there is a liquid fence stuff i think its called boundry

Just dont piss on it:D

Kind of hard to set an electric fence on a guerilla spot.

about the best thing you can do, outside of using some spray stuff that I cannot advise on, is to continue building the fallen wood fences.... if a person happens to be walking by, they are less likely to investigate some piled up downed trees than they will be if they see a metal fence or some other man made thing hanging up or whatever....

Most deer are browsers and love to pick at any new shoots that pop up out the ground.

an electric fence is the best bet, so long as your plot is secure, can be rigged up quite easily and is low vis.

or an alt, get some tags and a permite, a 300win mag works wonders, you wont complain when those yummy steaks are sizzlin on the hot plate.

You could buy some barbed wire and close off the area where the plants are growing.

a 308 rifle should keep them away

lol, irish spring(generic version) has worked for me. the 22 cal. bow works good too, plus puts meat on the table. lol

180gr at 2800fps will work just fine:cool:

Then you can fill the freezer with meat too

too funny, its turned into a gun carrying, recipe card holding bunch here. we dont recomend this for city folks.

I dont think I could shoot a deer I would feel to bad.

Last time I went to my patch it was right before nightfall and the field was littered with deer. There were at least 4 that I saw dart out of various spots at different times. I think I saw a buck too which I find is typically rare for me.

Seeing how many there were at least explains why I had so may casualties due to DEER kicking up my cups and stepping in my holes.:mad:

Being here in rural south Mississippi, things are a little different. I almost went with the nick of "Redneck Hippie" or some such like that. FWIW, I don't hunt, but am an expert marksman. I like guns, I have a small collection, I like to shoot them. Mostly punching holes in targets, blowing up bottles and soda cans, and recently hit an orange at 1/4 mile with the first shot. There are a lot of things that happen here that don't happen in the "big city".... In the big city you never hear "Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this!!"(this is also a good time to run for cover). Here in the *REAL* south, the 2 scariest holidays are the 4th of July and New Years Eve.... it has to do with the combination of rednecks, alcohol, and explosives.

theres this stuff i use called "animal get away" its in a blue spray bottle and is made by "Havahart" its worked great so far. just spray it around your plants and on the outside of the pots

mmmmmm venison :jointsmile:

I'd have deer jerky for years.

I'm not a hunter. I've never shot an animal in my life. But if there were deer trampling over my fucking plants I'd be more than willing to sit outside my place with a loaded rifle. Damn things are so stupid. I can't tell you how many times I've almost hit one, driving around here. It's like they want to die.

the BEST way that the deer will never even get close to your plant is chicken wire.. i like my plot to be double wrapped because deer devastated 11 plants in my last plot..
