Now that is adding insult to injury!!!! :lol: :lol: LMAO A friend said to call Fish and Game, so I did. These are their suggestions:

1)Try to put the most fragrant (the smellist) soap still in its wrapper around the bed. They suggested something like Irish Spring.

2)When you brush your dog/cat put the hair into plastic bags with liquid dish soap.

3) Cayanne pepper can be sprinkled on the plants themselves, but is especially good in flower beds where bulbs are so that the chipmunks will stay away.

4)Solar lighting. The deer don't like going around places that are lit-up.

5)If none of the above work come on down and they'll give a sample of some kind of commercial deer deterent and solar powered blinking red light that's suppose to keep them away.

We'll see!! I'll try the cheap way first.
