    Go to some barbershops and tell them you need the hair clippings to keep deer away. It works.

    Also old, dirty socks or pouring bleach around the ground.

    Have Preacher Tony hunt near your house, no deer come around when he's hunting.

    What do you use? I'm thinking the plastic 4' snow fence is cheap and you can get used on Craig's list. Put a post in every 8' and see how that works.

    Run some clear fishing line about two feet off the ground far enough away the can't stick their heads over it and eat. They won't see the fishing line and it spooks them when they touch it, for some reason they don't jump over it. I know it sounds strange, but my dad did it this year to protect his muscadine vines and his deer problem stopped immediately.

    From what I have read ,IRISH SPRING soap rubbed on the trees will keep them away. Don't know if it works, but have had different people swear that it will.....

    I have heard of people using concentrated dawn soap around trees or bushes to keep deer from eating them, and they said use the blue kind.

    I always use 5 foot hog fence but I see no reason the snow fence would not work. Actually snow fence would be easier to work with.

    Decorate them with dirty socks and underwear . This will also repel neighbors.
