That's our problem too. Their getting the velvet off the antlers and leaving a scent in the process. They have killed three of my trees planted a while back.

What does the water bag do? Just curious. I may try it. I put a six foot fence up around the yard and it stopped a lot of it. I still see tracks every now and then. But they already killed two pink dogwoods and a bradford pear that was nurtured for three years. They even uprooted one of the dogwoods.they also practice fighting. We have been putting fencing around every tree we plant and a water bag for 3 years. If clients want to get rid of them then for appearance then they suffer the consequences.
LOL, yeah my 7 mag would be too, But i never see them do it. Also too many houses around to shoot a rifle.Interesting, but my 300 winchester, is very effective:hmm3grin2orange:
On the orchard, we used those little bars of hotel soap. We'd leave the wrapper on and put a wire hanger through it, and hang one on each tree. That would last about a year.
Wish I wouldn't have let my applicators licenses expire.

Soap applicators? :monkey:
Was it revoked for 'being applied too fast?'
another good repellant
Is Thiram also effective as a rabbit repellent? We see as much damage from rabbits here as the deer, though deer can annihilate a landscape much faster. I've been using Liquid Fence lately which seems to work (it is listed as a deer AND rabbit repellent), but it does need to be applied monthly, which is a drawback especially during the Winter months, and we have 6-7 months of Winter here in Western NY. Hunting regulations in NY are too strict to allow blowing them away with a Winchester at any time throughout the year, though I've heard rumors that farmers are allowed to blow them away off-season if they catch deer eating crops, wondering if the same rule applies to homeowners...
