That's cruel and un-usual punishment. How dare you.

Beagles.
.22 birdshot.
Mountain lion urine.
Irish Spring soap.
BB gun.
Sister-in-law protected her flowers with scattered mothballs.
I always thought the plants were too acidic. I read that too.
But if you saw it……you saw it. Eyewitness accounts are great.
I read a story once where there was a small bird nest low enough for deer to reach, pictures included, those deer eat the bird chicks in the nest!
It was crazy. Quite surprising.
Two solutions.....
Get an electric fence. Hang a sheet of aluminum foil on the fence and smear it with peanut butter. The deer lick the peanut butter and get zinged. We had a friend defend an entire lot full of blueberries with just a single strand around the lot.
Otherwise, use a paint ball gun. They don’t like it, and the neighbors won’t hate you.
Awh! A deer’s best friend.
“Nasty, nasty smelling stuff. Keeps the deer from eating our daylillies.”
And you away from the yard.
Sounds like a human AND deer repellant.
“The urine, when sprayed or sprinkled around plants weekly will prevent them from eating the plants.”
And fertilizers the plants.
Large exurban / rural rats on the hoof. Cute vermin.
And fertilizers the plants.>>>>>>
Yep, that too.
Urine. Onion powder. Human hair. Dogs. Motion detector lights (at night.) Liquid Fence deer and rabbit repellent. Repels-All animal repellent by Bonide. Anything that makes noise and motion when the wind blows.
BTW.......Beware of widow requests to come over and help out in the garden!
Wolf urine. Sold in small bottles. A little goes a long way, I’ve read.
In the summer, there are plenty of other food sources. There should theoretically be no reason for the deer to go after veggies surrounded by fragrant plants.
But then again, they’re deer.
Hanging reflective items can help.
Old CDs because they move in the wind and reflect give you some chance.
A dog can help.
But there really is no way to keep them away other then fence, dog or death.
They eat things that people swear are deer proof. Ha!
That's cruel and un-usual punishment. How dare you.

“Rampage” LOL. The MSM are a bunch of presstitutes for sure.
First, pee around the perimeter-just make sure you walk backwards. Second, put twigs or bamboo stakes in quantity through out your plants. The deer will avoid poking their eyes.
just reconfigure the way you see the situation
they’re not tomato plants
they’re venison bait
Mine is 4 ft and they can’t reach over it
LOL!
I've started collecting in a old milk jug (with lid).
I don't think my neighbors would appreciate having to
watch me pee on my yard.
But then again - you never know...
