Thread Name: BS: Defeating Deer in the Garden
Subject: RE: BS: Defeating Deer in the Garden
I have heard a man's first pee in the morning will keep deer away.
That works against smaller critters, like groundhogs, but it's tedious because you need a lot of pee and it has to be re-applied frequently. I used it successfully until I found the burrow and offed the groundhogs. See: http://blog.pnart.com/?p=19 and http://blog.pnart.com/?p=20
The key to effective pee fencing is meat - Eat meat a few hours beforehand - a nice steak or hamburger makes your pee say "carnivore".
But really, on the deer - an electric fence, properly installed, is cheap, simple, and effective. I'm not sure why this thread is dragging on like this.
