Question: What can you put out in the flower bed keep the deer and wildlife from eating your flowers?

Figured with all of the hunters that we have, someone would know.

TIA

 

browning 7mm semi auto or savage 270 bolt would be my choices

 

Thanks Impy, that was my first response also "A gun"

Actually need to know for my wife, she asked me for the forum/web site that she is on. The girls are asking.

 

pre-64 Model 70 Winchester 270. Actually once the deer have established a trail to your garden they are hard to keep away. Deer hate the smell of humans. An old fashioned, yet no so hygenic, way to keep deer away is to pee around your garden. I have heard of people sprinkling human hair around a garden. Usually predator urine like coyote, mountain lion, etc( sold at Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, etc. ) will keep deer away. The only problem is these things only work until the smell goes away. ( solution= drink lots of beer ) Try these:

www.liquidfence.com

they make product for it...probably can find some at cabelas.com or something like that. or just throw a salt lick in your neighbors yard and the deer will never go into your flower bed..lol

 

diabolical Impy

 

Thanks Impy, we were tossing around the pee idea. Wasn't sure if that was actually true. I know it works for skunks in your yard, makes sense.

 

I generally like to use a Winchester Model 70 7mm Mag...

However... Some of the more pratical things are Hot pepper, Irish Spring soap bars hanging, or cut into slivers, a dog, motion detector noise makers, urine,or change the plants in the garden... deer won't eat some stuff until they are really hungry.

 

if you want something humane (but a lot less fun) they make mtion sensor sprinklers that will spray the deer with water when it senses them..

 

If you have a dog(s), ones that shed or require brushing. Take some of their hair, and put it around the flower beds ... that worked for me.
