Those spring time feed stores tempt us terribly and we wind up lookng foolish after also buying fertilizer, watering hoses, nozzles, and poisons. Before that we raked up the leaves and tilled the soil anticipating wheelborrows of vegetables we could give our smarter neighbors. Weeks later it looks like a practice field for light artillery, the green stuff is gone. We've seen electric fence, plastic fence, tied up dogs, radio with men talkng fence. None work. With so much time, labor and expense invested, we toss it out for the readers of IS. Try being serious, how does
one keep the things away? *-

Pock here are a few suggestions. Tie a bundle of dryer sheets to poles and place them around the beds. You can also take a fragrant soap bar like Irish Spring slice it into thin layers and spread it. I have heard moth balls in cloth bags do the same. If these fail to work the next best thing to do is find a stout tree nearby and clearly post a sign deer hunters wanted in blaze orange. I have found that in my fourty years of hunting deer will shy away from blaze orange and the probability of a tree stand nearby. Keep in mind Venison is a great alternative to todays high cost of beef.
Every night for a week go out at midnight and scream "Andy Damiani."
That would scare anything away.
PS: Surely no one takes this one comment seriously. Maybe it would be better to yell out "Selena."
Suggest encircling the area with a piece of string at waist height tied to a bell in your room. Have a spot light ready at the window. When the bell rings open the window turn on the spot light and take a bead. It's just like you're back in 1944 without the discomfort of a foxhole and deer can't shoot back.
Deer Nazi has it right but use a claymoor or a bouncing Betty. When Peta comes after you with an over kill charge, take the stand the Israelis do with the Palestinians. There is no such thing as overkill.
