@ning, that video is priceless. That it is on the company's website is just ROTFLOL. :ROFLMAO:

Others here I believe have put bait on their electric fence/netting to teach avoidance.

@dj1701 I don't see how those units are going to be effective. They are too short for one, and not close enough for another. As the video shows, the devices seem to be great training tools to teach deer how to leap obstacles.

Getting deer to go elsewhere depends, I think, a lot on their motivation. If there isn't much else to eat, it can take a lot to deter them, but if there is a lot to eat, it doesn't take much.

We use 5' high electric netting that has always worked for us against deer, but we have dogs that aren't wild about deer, so there is certainly other deterrents at work here. Plus, of course, the fact that mountain lions regularly pick off deer near the house.

All the best,

Peter

I live in a very deer dense area of NY. I have tried many things, some were good others not so much.

I have a couple of friends coming out this year to hunt the property as well.

I thought why not give it a try...

Well, proof is in the pudding. They seem to have worked. First year in the 3 years since I planted them that they did not get eaten to the ground. Actually they did not get touched at all.
