 What is Deer Proof

A lot depends on how many deer are in the area and the available food supply. Many areas that have problems with deer eating everything are due to an overpopulation of deer and not enough food for them. But you can't thin the herd because you can't kill Bambi!! So they eat everything in sight.

Dogs help, but the deer still came up to my place on occasion. They didn't eat much but the bucks would rub the fuzz off the antlers on the trees closest to the house. Did serious damage. I didn't sweat it.

May aunt has tall polls (8-10 feet) around her garden with fishing line across them. The deer can't see it, but they hit it and hate it. It keeps most of them out of the garden (plus the fence for rabbits since you can't shoot them in the city either). Between the rabbits and the deer, her garden is stronger than a military compound.

 What is Deer Proof

Billy, a former co-worker used the paintball method. He ended up with a lot of multi-colored deer in the neighborhood. They still kept coming around. But of you have the equipment, it may be worth trying. At the least, it will make you feel better.
