  What is Deer Proof

I've often wondered if you scared a deer enough if it would avoid the area.

A paintball gun is what I'm thinking of. The deer up at the farm are tame enough I could easily get in range and pepper them with paintballs. Plus it would be a way to relieve the anger of having them destroy my pumpkin patch, without killing them.

My local whitetail expert tells me that a deer will avoid an area if it thinks something is trying to kill it there. So I'm thinking of building a motion-activated, spring-loaded, stuffed mountain lion. Smile

Bill

  What is Deer Proof

If you only have a small area, like a veggie garden, the motion-activated sprayers for a garden hose work very well.

Most better garden places, as well as a myriad of places on the 'net sell them, they are just basically a scare crow. The combination of noise, motion and spraying water will keep the deer at bay.

Best of luck.

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.

Do the propane "cannons" work? May not please the neighbors if they make the noise I think they do.

  What is Deer Proof

I may not understand the problem, but it seems that you have two many deer. You have 50 acres, a back hoe, FEl and those nanny goats make good Fertilizer for the garden you want. I have deer all over my place they dine on the rye grass. I have a garden “vegetable” raised bed no fence for some reason they stay away. I dont hunt deer, I am more birds and such, but deer taste good with the vegetables from the garden. I will defend myself.

just some ideas
