I once asked the guy that has a nursey how to keep deer out of my garden, he said the best way is a 20 gage. My daugter has a home in the woods and they found a spray that keeps the deer from eating their extensive landscaping, but don’t remember the name. If anyone cares, freepmail me and I will get the name...they dont have any fencing and have a beautiful place. They don’t get all their flowers and shrubs eaten anymore..
We have deer fence around our garden and it works! Best spray I have EVER used to keep deer away from plants, fruit/nut trees is *Liquid Fence* (get the concentrate and mix your own for a MUCH more economical price). This spray WORKS!
