Shooting an animal out of the scope of the law here would cost you time in jail and about $3000.00 fine. Be careful.
Hope Hooch is ok.
There is a spray called Deer Repelent I believe. It is suppossed to be pretty good. Human hair will deter them.
They can be a PIA, but having a herd of thirty on our property, I can honestly say our Great Pyr keeps them at bay. Worst thing they have ever done is tear up a birdfeeder they were eating out of.
