Recommendations for deer repellent?

[Jumpem]

They just ate all of the buds from some shrubs out front. I think they started coming around after my mom sprinkled "reindeer food" outside with my kids at Christmas.

Nah, 5.56 or 7.62 is more appropriate for the range.

a fence. not much else works

Piss along the boundaries of your yard. They will understand a powerful, potent male lives there and stay away.

I think he might want max noise, go with a double barrel.

it'll need to be a tall fence. I've seen deer tracks inside standard height residential fences.

If in doubt go for a head on a pike.

I think someone has a man crush.

Landmines is the only solution. Your venison will taste a bit burnt though.

Mothballs and human urine will work for a while, but not forever.

Bastards ate my okra last year. I'm gonna build a fence to go around my plants this year.

They are plants along the front walk. I can't really fence it off.

Don't be a pussy, do something cool like an electric fence that becomes a giant bug zapper for deer.

I've heard of using capsiacin (bhut jolokia) to repel mammals. Might work on deer

Big mouse trap? Bait with a salt lick?

How about a large outside dog. Would need a good fence though, if your dog gets out of your yard it could get into a lot of trouble.

This works wonders on the rabbits in my yard that attack my wife's flowers. I would suspect it would have the same effect on deer for some time.

Warning: It stinks something awful for 24 hours.

Pigs blood mixed with an oil base binder to keeps it from washed away are use in forestry to keeps the deers away.

At one point I heard of using human hair to keep them from getting into gardens. Get clippings from a barber and spread it around the perimeter.

*note* I make no claim that this will work, and even if it does it gives you a +2 to creepiness.

T-Rex pee, it keeps the smaller dinos away so it should work with deer.

Didn't they do that in "The Rookie"?

No idea. I grew up in the boonies where gardens were common.
