Deer Repellent

[cdg]

I too have been stumbling around looking for a deer proofing option lately. They are getting aggressive here and one was advancing on me and my dog, even though I was yelling at it and throwing handfuls of gravel at it. Deer aren't supposed to act like that. It was only 8-10 feet away when it finally split. Usually they hoof it right away, especially once I chunk a rock or something at them. Anyways, I did find a few informative sites on the web pertaining to deer management. Hopefully there is some information on these that will help someone out. Unfortunately, I can't kill em or build a 30' fence in the back yard. :censored: deer.

I always tell people to use dried blood which can be found cheap at home centers. Seems to work for me when I keep up on the applications but I would not suggest this if you live where there are carnivores around like say a mountain lion.

I thought about this, but we do have bears and mountain lions here. The way my luck is, I would chase off the deer and end up getting my dog eaten by one of those other two. .
