Deer problem
Posted on 08/18/2009 9:14:35 PM PDT by blackbart.223
I have a problem with deer eating my peach tree. Since shooting them is not an option can anyone suggest a method to get rid of them. I'd just as soon shoot them but can't due to the game laws.

Get a slingshot. A slingshot and some small, rounded rocks applied directly to the deer’s rump area whilst it is eating will soon cause the deer to associate eating your tree with getting a sharp pain in the rump. It is important that the deer not see you cause the pain in the rump - it has to seem like “magic.”

Wolves seem to be working here in Idaho to keep the deer population down...course that probably won’t work for you

"Shoot them with a bow?"Only if I don't get caught. I have a Horton crossbow and the thought crossed my mind.

Is there a zoo nearby? I have heard of excellent results using big cat manure to keep deer away. A lot of zoos sell it for a small donation.

"Well honestly officer, I saw a shadow moving out in the yard and feared for my life..."
My parents looked into options for their garden since they were having the same problem. Short of a really tall fence around the tree (google for the height) I'm not aware of a method to stop deers from getting into your plants.

I have a rather large black lab. But he is inside at night. That seems to be when the damage is done.

Kill it anyways. You might just save some poor motorist’s life.

"Garrote?"Only if you are close enough to toss it on and the deer is there.
