Link to 12 gauge perimeter alarm. They also make it in a .308... Also, which I have never seen, a 12 ga to 410 conversion tube that also works in shotguns. The 12 gauge on a trip wire would be a great prank if anything. Check legality of these and use common sense if you decide to try them.

If you want to eat what is eating your stuff you can use something like this.
We use them for hog hunting but they will work for anything that has heat and moves.
A 12v IR sensor is the motion detector part of it, I use a "pet lens" designed not to trigger on small animals but the normal one even works on tiny birds. We just didn't want to drive all the way there and find a coon or rabbit.
The IR sensor triggers a timer/relay I built that powers up the radio (that's already keyed up) and plays back the location from the digital voice recorder.

We had good luck with AS SEEN ON TV Bell and Howell animal repellers but it has limited range and when the crop you're protecting grows high enough to block the beam, They'll eat right up to where the beam hits them again. Several of them around the perimeter aimed like a fence or the ones like jwmorris shows above or heat sensing ones should work OK lined up that way also.
We also tried the HF driveway alerts but any movement like a branch moving with the breeze sets them off. They were close enough to the house and neighbors they drove us crazy. T We now use the driveway alerts pointed down, to monitor our doors.

The last buck I took off our place was an 8 point that was about 50 yards from the feeder. There was a doe there also. I dropped the buck with a 7mm Rem Mag - which, as most of you know makes a VERY loud bang. When I pulled the trigger on the buck the doe jumped, ran a few feet - stopped for a moment to look at the downed buck, and then slowly meandered off. The inital BANG caught her attention, but immediately there after she was clueless. As such, you'll never convince me that scare tactics would work in the long run. The deer will eventually just ignore the noise...
Since I have a similar issue with our 4 acres of vineyard, we're in the process of installing an 8' deer fence. We've also clear cut around the vineyard by at least 75 feet on all sides and a good 150 feet from the back of the property (which is the direction they come from).

8' high (minimum) woven wire fence or a dog fence and dogs are the only methods that work here. I've seen 10' fences in WV where the deer lounge around everyone's yards in groups of 10-20. My neighbor attached an old circular saw to a motion detector and that has worked so far. But if you find something else that works well please let us know!

I'm no animal psychiatrist but I bet the doe froze because she was looking to take the lead of her man that bit the dust. Had you missed, I bet they would have both made a run for it... Buck in the lead.

Many experienced hunters know that a loud whistle will often stop a running buck in its tracks...
