Noise maker on a timer

[/pine]

In my experience chainsaws and bulldozers are deer attractants...

Depending on the radio show, it could annoy them right into the next county.
Just hope they don't figure out the snooze button.

Tune it to Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow.....if that don't keep the deer out.....nothing will!:laughing:

So if a couple of real dogs don't keep the critters away, I don't have a lot of hope for a recording.

My Mother had problems with rabbits eating her flowers then they all of a sudden they stopped.

My Dad snapped this shot of the likely solution.

What a great picture!

Can't remember where I've seen it but there is a mechanism that will fire a twelve gauge blank, you can fasten it to a fence post and run a trip wire off it. If you had several and the trip wires were the right height they'd scare themselves off and you'd just have to check and reload

That is a great picture and would definitely solve the problem!

Harbor Freight sells a wireless driveway monitor for $18 (on sale, most of the time). Range is pretty good and the batteries last a long time. I bought 4 of them after testing one for 8 months (still using the original batts). After you run out there a few times with a loud noise maker, they'll get the message.

You could probably do well with a laser trip system as used in garage doors/security systems, etc. Perhaps a motion detector too, but they never seem sensitive enough over a large area for many things.

You could, of course, just record an electronic BANG!!!
Or, play loud rock & Roll whenever the laser is tripped.

Could you make a pop-up scarecrow? Perhaps one of those fan filled inflatable thingys.

Whenever your laser is tripped, inflate the tube-man and start blasting obnoxious music. And, add some loud bangs too...
Just enough to make your neighbors think you are seriously disturbed.
