slughunter Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: Hungry deer !!!!! If its not a big garden get the plot saver stuff or you can go to a barber shop and get a bunch of hair and spread it around, that scares the deer away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: Hungry deer !!!!! If you hang Irish spring bars of soap around your bargen I know that works to keep em from eating your trees I would think it would work for plants also ... for some reason they hate the smell of it ...

RangerClay Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: Hungry deer !!!!! Human hair loses it's scent after 3-4 days. I know for a fact that deer hate Irish Spring. For $5 you can get a 50 pound bag of feed corn. Leave it somewhere and the deer will flock to that instead of your garden. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: Hungry deer !!!!! I just plant extra knowing the deer are going to get their share. I have seen one product that I would love to see in action, athough I don't think I'd ever get, but it's a sprinkler set on a post with a motion detector on it. When a deer walks by, it gets blasted with a shot of water. LMAO. Wouldn't that be fun to watch? Only other thing I can think of would be an electric fence. Hard to maintain, but effective.

BowJoe Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: Hungry deer !!!!! I would agree with the food plot thing. One other thing might be to hang a piece of trot line aroung the perimeter of your garden and then hang regular 5/8" nuts from a piece of fishing string all along the trot line. I would say hang one every 8 to 10" inches. This should help or not. I know it works when you are redirecting deer down a trail but I don't know how hugry the deer are in your area. If thier's not a lot of food around then I would say you are just S.O.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger [/ QUOTE ] My sister feeds deer in her back yard and the deer still would eat her garden. However she used the Irish Spring and it works!!!!!!! What she does is takes bars and cuts them into thin strips and hangs them around her gardens in old nylons. After heavy rains and periods of time she has to put more out. However it does keep them out of her garden but it doesn't scare them away, so you could still hunt behind your house. good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
