What deere do not like to eat

Can't suggest any particular plants. Deer do browse most things but avoid grass. If the problem is landscaping near a house, a dog keeps them in check about as well as anything. That's the usual solution around here. Just giving up and planting enough for the deer too is another solution. Trying fences gets into old country jokes about whether you've got 8' deer or 10' deer in your area.

What deere do not like to eat

Something to scare them away? Well, that's not a friend and his brother. His wife found them sitting on the porch one morning. They were jawing away while watching the deer munch away at her garden. As I understand, the wife became the scary thing. Don't know where their dog was at the time. This is a dog that chases bears (at least as long as the bear keeps running). Dogs don't always work either. Electric fences get mixed reviews.

The thing about deer is that it's good if they browse on crops--well maybe somebody’s crops at least. They end up turning into gourmet delicacies compared to the bush fed deer around here.

At least I can't blame the deer for a complete loss of our garden sweet corn this year. It was raccoons that stripped the husks back on each ear and ate all the corn while leaving the bare cobs still on the stocks. Wonderful creatures, those raccoons, and so cute too. I’m not real fond of eating the local deer myself, but I might become fond of local raccoon if we loose another corn crop.
