I read all of your postings concerning the deer problems I thought that you all would like to know what we use up here in "the great white north" (I don't know why they call it great?) I have found that the following remedies work well. 1. Ivory soap bars, small ones placed around your garden. WORKS GREAT UP HERE! 2. Human hair, sometimes works. Unless the dear are tame 3. Preditor urine, you can buy it at a hunting sport shop. it doesn't last long, after it rains you must re-apply it. 4. Alluminum pans, buy the cheap pie pans at the market and hang them off a stake or the shrub, doesn't look to good though. Someone mentioned the ultrisonic noise makers. My brother in law drives a truck and he swears buy them. I don't know if they sell a stationary model. The ones I've seen attach to your car grill, and the air whistles an ulitrisonic tone when you are moving. Thank You! KEN N1HTI (ham radio) Old Town, Maine.
