Ron,
We live next to a deer refuge that hosts a population of from 25 to 200+
white tailed deer. For 25 years we have tried a myriad of "fool proof" deer
deterrents. During that time we have lost a variety of trees, shrubs,
vegetables and perennial flower to rubbing and browsing by marauding deer.
3 years ago, we tried a single, 16 gauge wire, baited electric barrier and
despite an ever increasing deer population, our deer problems are over. The
barrier, which faces deer yarding areas and does not block our driveways is
inexpensive, inconspicuous and very effective. Contact me off group if
interested in further details.
