Blood meal in panty hose hanging from all around your garden. It gives off an unpleasant odor to deer that smells like death (it is literally ground up bones, marrow and blood).

I had this problem too.  My solution was to buy some deer fence from Amazon.  I put it up.  The first  night something knocked over one of my fence posts.  I replaced it, and so far no deer and no rabbits.  

This stuff is real light, and I don't think they can see it or see how tall it is.  They just know it's there.

I'm not sure about the blood thing.

Last year I was deer hunting and bored. A squirrel was annoying me so I killed it. (Small game coincides with deer season).
About 20 minutes later a spike came up and started licking the blood off squirrel, I watched for a few minutes then put an arrow in him.

We have a couple that started eating leaves a couple years back,  stripping our young apple trees bare.

I started using an old Crosman pump BB gun to shoot them in the hind quarters with pellets. Just 1 or 2 pumps,  about 50yd shot. It shouldn't penetrate the skin (deer hides are tough shit)  but you can hear it go whap,  and they take off in a hurry.

The number of returning deer has dropped sharply since this experiment began.

Sevin Dust. Wet the garden and then apply the powder all over the leaves. The deer hate the taste and the sevin dust keeps away the bugs. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Re-apply when you dont see a white film on the leaves.

I've tried hair, soap, piss, foil, pie plates, hot sauce, commercial deer repellent, old cologne, bone meal, you name it.  NONE work worth a damn.

I was just about to call it quits and load the .308 when I discovered a recommendation from a midwest state dept Natural Resources....  I've done this for the past decade and it works very very well....

Run a single strand of wire about 30 inches off ground, and hook it up to a fence charger.  Ensure the charger ground is really good.  The hot wire itself will not work.  When deer hit the wire, they tend to jump forward, and so you train them to jump into the garden.  Not good.  We need some way to ensure Bambi gets the voltage in the face, so they back up and run.  So, take some small pieces of foil (or I used 6inch x 6 inch galv sheet steel).  Bend to form a small tent shape.  Drape over wire, and stick small piece of duct tape underneath. Place one of these every ten feet or so. Then wipe a big goober of peanut butter on underside of the foil/metal.

Bambi comes in to investigate, smells the luscious peanut butter, reaches out to give it a lick, and either gets the voltage on the nose or licks a mouth full of voltage.  It backs em up REAL good.  In a decade I have had exactly ZERO deer issues in the garden, and I frequently have 5-6 in the back yard, munching grass, but NOT in the garden.

Take care:  If you are too lazy to turn the fence off, or walk around to the gate, and attempt to step over a 30" high hot wire, your dangly bits may brush the wire through your athletic shorts and you too will get to ride the lightning.  Mrs. Frozenny says I make funny sounds when this happens to me....

I've heard many of the myths. The only tried and true approach is to use a fence. It may not be an option. Second best (it's always worked for me and for many and is food-safe) is a liquid organic deer repellent, such as Liquid Fence or Bobbex. I use Bobbex and it has worked flawlessly. I have deer EVERYWHERE and I can't shoot them non-stop, so I need a repellent.

I have heard and read many good things about Milorganite, which is a fertilizer that just happens to be an excellent deer repellent. It's considered off-label use, and I've never tried it, but tons of people swear by it.

Mine too, except we would shave pieces off onto the ground around the perimeter. It seems to work as long as the soap is fresh, after a few days the effect wears off.  This gets expensive after awhile.

Find a way to hang CDs that will swing and reflect light. Supposedly it looks like predators eyes flashing.  I had a lot of deer in my yard one year and had no problems. I also had a lot of plum trees that kept them away from the garden, so there is that.  



I heard it works though. Not a lot of work if you have old CDs around.

I've used a fertilizer called milorganite with good success to keep deer and rabbits out of my garden and dove fields. It's not marketed as a deer repellent but a lot of people use it as such.

A 6 foot tall fence and netting over the top of the garden will stop them.  I saw on guy near us a few years ago who had an 8 foot fence around his garden with 1/4" grid fencing over the top who had a buck standing on top of the fence wondering why he couldn't get to the garden after jumping the fence around it.

Watching a deer that has just been bit by the lightning is like watching a wild horse that someone is trying to ride.  I watched one buck jump and kick for almost a minute after getting bit by a neighbor's fence.  It was funny as hell to watch that deer move that way.  But he never went back to that garden again, either.
