Last fall one of the gardening mags (sorry, forgot which one) reported
on experiments in Wisconsin (?).  The only surefire way to deter deer
was found to be a single strand electric fence smeared with peanut
butter.  The deer try to eat the pb, get zinged, and learn to stay
away.
    The local extension people in Michigan recommend a product called
Hinder, a liquid conc. that is diluted and sprayed on plants and around
perimeter.  We tried it last fall and it *seems* to work well.  Of
course, maybe we didn't grow anything the deer wanted.  :-)
    (I don't have the manufacturer's address here; email me if you
want it.)
