I don't see why you want to keep the deer out of your yard. Not very inclusive, are you? Those deer need to eat, too. You're obviously privileged, they should be able to eat your foliage. Damn you.

A wireless deer fence...........REALLY.

We have a different way of dealing with deer in our yard in Texas...............we name each and every one of them "DINNER".

Frank have you ever considered a bow or a crossbow?Hell Frank even a wrist rocket with some of the "environmentally safe" hard clay ammo.

I'm just hoping to encourage them to eat some neighbors' veggies, hostas, and stuff.

Playing the NIBY card?

The following is not targeted at you frank.

I think it's rather funny how the Richie Rich folks plow and carve out land to put up their American dream in the burbs, place tighter regulations on hunting and trapping but then complain because the wildlife invades their plot.

Coyotes going after fluffy the kitty and Louie the Maltese from their back yard.

Protect the beavers, trapping is cruel. Well... unless the population gets to big and they cause problems with our cul-de-sac. Then we kill them!

Everyone complains about the homeless... nobody wants a shelter in their neighborhood.

100% understandable why you would not want one in your neighborhood... but why would you want it in someone else's?

Wrong forum but one could add the push for clean renewable energy but don't put a windmill up where it will dirty up the view from my ocean front property. Decrease number of cars on the road for clean air and less traffic congestion but don't put that commuter rail line through my quiet little town. My cell service sucks, but you better not think about adding new tower.

On a serious note: A life long hunter, fisher, gardener, outdoors man, Yankee ingenuity friend of mine claims that fishing line works. Low test line that's hard to see (say 10-15 lb test) strung around the perimeter at a couple heights of 1.5 ft and 3 ft is supposed to work. Supposedly they bump into it and get spooked or something.

{shrug} Never tired it, if I have garden growing problems it usually comes from bugs or bunnies.

just looking to enjoy some tulips, stargazer lillies, some veggies in a 12 x 12 garden, and stuff.

I got plenty of other stuff they can eat, rhodies, azaelias and more. Heck, they come wandering up paths in the woods that I maintain that end in the vast Blue Hills Reservation.

It's not like I'm taking away a major option. They are leaving the world's largest buffet when they enter my yard.

Frank, I'm not sure how much area you are trying to protect, but have you looked at those motion activated sprinklers?
