I just planted 8 sunflowers outside that my son had planted in containers. Just hours later I checked on them and 4 of them had the tops eaten off of them. Is there anything (hopefully something that I may have on hand) that will keep the deer and other animals away from them? There are other plants and flowers in the same area that don't get eaten.Is there any kind of spray or household chem. or object that will keep deer from eating my sunflowers?
There are a variety of safe methods to keep deer from dining and dashing in your garden. Here are some suggestions, with information on products that can help.
Repellents: A waxy liquid typically made with garlic, chili peppers and/or blood meal, that can be sprayed on foliage.

Predator Urines: Coyote is the most effective predator urine for scaring off deer

Fencing: It is a very effective way to keep deer out, but it isn't pretty. Here are some low-key alternatives to plain old fence.
Virtually Invisible Mesh Fencing, deerbusters.com Baited Electric Deer Fence, deerbusters.com Wireless Deer Fence, deerbusters.com
Scare Tactics: Scare the deer away either with the element of surprise or noise.
Ultrasonic, deerbusters.com Scarecrow, deerbusters.com
Home remedies: Concoctions, usually with pungent odor, can keep deer away.
Irish Spring soap: leave wrapper on and hang from tree Eggs Human hair hung from mesh bags
There is only one guaranteed way to prevent deer: Erect a fence. The fence should be 11 inches taller than Shaquille O'Neal. The experts at Cornell University's Cayuga Heights Deer Project warn that for a fence to be an ';absolute barrier'; it must be a full eight feet tall. All professional deer fencing is this height. Be assured that 'invisible deer fencing' really is-you can't see it from most angles, so you get the protection without feeling like you're living inside a cage. Don't forget to deer-proof the driveway with its own fence or cattle guards.
A less expensive alternative is to install three-foot high animal fencing. Install this kind of fencing and then run a series of three single wires overtop at foot-and-a-half intervals; this should keep most deer off your property.
Try a REALLY invisible fence; one that's flat to the ground! Lay heavy metal fencing or sheets of corrugated metal on the ground completely around the area you wish to protect-like a vegetable garden. It feels very strange under foot-eh, hoof, and deer are reluctant to cross over it.
Your best non-fence bet is a dog. Deer fear dogs, and dogs like to chase deer. Studies have found that dogs kept inside deer-plagued property lines by an invisible fencing system are a very effective deterrent. Border collies and other working dogs are the best choices.
Spray-on deer repellants. Deer begin browsing at 28 to 32 inches off the ground-that's your ';Strike Zone';; concentrate the spray at that height and limit the overspray to about a foot higher and lower. Reapply every four weeks and rotate several different brands over the course of a deer-dining season. Products that work best include:
Deer Away: a 37% solution of classically stinky putrescent egg solids.
Deer-Off: a combination of stinky egg smell with hot pepper and garlic.
Liquid Fence: smells like a combination of eggs gone bad with garlic.
Hinder: an ammonia-based repellant that can also be painted on trees to prevent rabbits nibbling the bark.
(Don't worry-you won't smell these things after they dry-but the deer will taste them.)
An alternative to spraying plants is clothesline. String a clothesline at browsing height in front of the plants you wish to protect and then soak the rope with repellant.
Another good device is the ';Wireless Deer Fence';. Available directly from the manufacturer via the web (WirelessDeerFence), these stakes use scent pellets to attract deer to the electrodes on top, which convey one heck of a shock to deer what lick them via a capacitor powered by two double AA batteries. As with an electric fence, the shocked deer will remember their bad experience at your place and eat someone else's tulips and azaleas that season.
Make your own ';Swedish cure'; deer repellant at home. This repellant was developed to protect the ultimate deer delicacy-tulip flowers-from the merciless creatures in Sweden's famed Rosendal Gardens. (Yes, deer are a problem in SWEDEN; doesn't that make you feel a little bit better?) Here's the recipe:
Mix 2 陆 pounds of bloodmeal (half of a 5 lb. bag) into a normal size bucket that's about half to 2/3 full of water.
Stir well.
Add 1 cup of ammonia and keep stirring until mixed.
Now, cut green florist block into big cubes and place each cube on a three-foot tall stake. Dip the staked cubes into the bucket and let 'em sit there for awhile and get really saturated. Then, place the stakes about six feet apart around plants you wish to protect. Re-saturate the cubes every couple of weeks or after a really heavy rain.
OKIs there any kind of spray or household chem. or object that will keep deer from eating my sunflowers?
There's probably something in your local garden center. But every time it rains you will have to re-apply. Deer do not eat all plants, but they do eat quite a wide variety. You can do some simple online research to find out which plants they won't eat.
go to the salon and ask them to save you, the hair clippings off the floor ..spread this around and deer wont go near your plants
I once read that the pioneers would tie sackfulls of human hair to posts in their fields to keep deer away. (probably not freshly shampooed hair)
You need pepper spray, and you can make your own by loading a one quart canning jar with chopped dried peppers and then putting boiling water in there. Now normally you should wait 48 hours, but you can take some it if the next day if you need to protect them quickly, and then you put the liquid through 2 layers of cheese cloth in a strainer and put the strained liquid into a water sprayer or mister and spray it on the plants regularly.
There is also a mix made with raw eggs and soap and stuff - since you do not each the plants except the seeds, you can use some of that on the plant until the seeds form.
Here is the egg spray:
There is a version of ';Liquid Fence'; on the market. I found this works just as well, just you have to use it more quickly due to it not having the preservatives in it. It smells bad when you apply it--this is your warning!! You will need 5 one gallon containers to mix this up. Fast and easy.
4 to 6 eggs
1 lg head of garlic, chopped
5 gallons of water
Any hot pepper you may have in the house
Put eggs, garlic and pepper in a blender with some water and blend until well mixed. Empty mixture in one of the gallon containers. Fill the container with water and mix well. Distribute the mixture into the other 4 containers until all 5 containers are equal.
Fill all 5 containers (or one five-gallon ';pickel'; bucket) with water and set in the sun for 3 days to ';ripen';.
Sprinkle around the perimeter of the area you want to protect. You can also strain some mixture and put it into a spray bottle to spray on plants that might need extra treatment. Retreat every month or after a hard rain.
(The egg recipe is from Gardenweb.com and they swear it works well for deer.)

What caliber is recomended for long range whitetail deer shots?
I am looking to buy a deer rifle i was curious on trajectory and power. I do not want to buy a 300 win mag thoWhat caliber is recomended for long range whitetail deer shots?
.30-06 best damn cal in the worldWhat caliber is recomended for long range whitetail deer shots?
I am a long time Alaskan hunter, trapper, and ex-military Olympic Class competition shooter.
My longest deer shot so far has been 635 yards with a 243 Win on Kodiak Island. This was a rifle I had spent a year on Attu Island with 50 pounds of ammo and a 2,000 yard condemed runway as my practice area. 600+ yards was in my range. That particular deer was on a small peninsula and had to get past me to get away. Today, even with the experince I had on that rifle - I wouldn't take a shot over 500 yards with unless I practiced up with a few hundred rounds.
308 is 'the' caliber for military and NRA Highpower Rifle competition at 200, 300 and 600 yards with open sights. At 600 yards the 308 Win has just barely enough energy to take down a deer.
That said - long range shots at deer are not recommended. I had to track down a deer once an idiot hunter shot at long range and only took out the lower jaw. The guy was too poor a shot to get a second one off, and too out of shape to go after it.
Most hunters will lay down prone and shoot nice groups at 300 yards and think they are awesome shots. Come hunting season, they are now shooting offhand and can't hit the side of a barn. Offhand is no fun to practice - and I never see hunters doing it.
If you can stand and put 5 rounds in a standard 10'; paper plate in 30 seconds or so without using a sling or leaning up against something - that is the 'long range' you are good at. Having a low recoil rifle (243 or 308) will help, good optics will be a big help, Having a proper sized stock and decent trigger pull (4.5 to 5lb for hunting, never any lighter) is a huge help since many factory triggers are closer to 8lb these days. It's imporatant to have the right scope and have it installed correctly for you and your vision. You need to throw that rifle up to your shoulder and have it dead on - no back and forth head action or leaning or canting.
My advice. Start doing NRA Highpower Rifle Competition. They shoot in the rain, fog, sleet, snow, high wind - all the ugly weather conditions normal people don't go to the range in. You will learn more in one match on one afternoon than a whole year of practice once a month. That, and you will learn to read the wind. If your match rifle is a M1a in 308 and your deer rifle is a also a 308 - your should be a damn fine long range deer shooter in one summer or two.
Hope this helps.
I use a 7mm mag with a 150 gr Remington accutip sierra boattail for mule deer hunting where shots can be 400 yards. My rifle loves those bullets. At 200 yards I'm 2.5 inches high which puts me dead on at 275. if you don't want a magnum, the .270 in a 140 gr bullet is also a great choice. Not as flat shooting and the knock down at longer ranges isn't as good but less recoil and 1 more round in the magazine. After you buy the rifle in whatever caliber, try different ammo manufacturers and bullets. I've found that different rifles are more or less accurate with different bullets.
The answer to this used to be the 25-06. The adequate power at long range, combined with the low recoil to justify enough shooter accuracy for long shots, is hard to beat for Antelope hunting, which is an extreme case of the type of hunting you describe. The 120 grain boattail Nosler Partition bullets should be fine on even larger deer with good hits. Regards, Larry.
I switched over to the .270 30 years ago and have never regretted it. A 130 grain bullet for white tail ( I prefer sierra BTSP) and 150 grain for mule deer, black bear and elk. This is a great flat shooting, hard hitting cartridge made popular by the late Jack O'Connor.

The most frequently used calibers for your purpose are the 30-06, 308, 270, 6mm, 30-30, 32 Winchester Special, and 243.* Pick one* Magnum calibers are not needed or necessary for Harvesting Deer.* The vast Majority of Big %26amp; Small Game is harvested within 100 yards or less.*
As others have pointed out --- The .270 Winchester is an excellent choice.....

Which do deer like less: oriental or asiatic lillies, or do they like each just as well?
I have a choice of planting either asiatic or oriental lillies. But we have a deer problem. Are either lilly less attractive to deer? Would it help if we planted the lillies close to the road. Any other suggestions to keep the deer away?Which do deer like less: oriental or asiatic lillies, or do they like each just as well?
Norbuld deer will nibble on about any plant if they are hungry. Deer love new succulent growth. I think your Lillie's will be good choice.

What is the best way to bait deer to a woods?
What are good techniques of attracting deer to a woods. I live in Ohio and have 2 different woods i would like to try to bait.What is the best way to bait deer to a woods?
Here are 3 great attractants that fit in the feed category- corn. roasted soybeans, and rice bran- all should be available at any feed and seed store. The corn should be sold at any Walmart also. The feed can be just put in small piles on the ground and scatter a good bit to make it harder for the deer to eat it all in a short time. Start at least 2 weeks before the season to give the deer time to find it. Once they find it they will keep coming until another food source opens up.What is the best way to bait deer to a woods?
Well its getting pretty close to early deer season so you will only be able to have them out for about a week, because they have to be taken away 30 days before the season opens. If you still want to, then go with corn, salt block, mineral block, peanut butter, or apples. When the season opens and you still want to bring in deer you can use multiple things. You can use doe urine, which is great for hunting the rut. You can also use vanilla extract.
in my experience in ohio and south mississippi,we use the same bait
we first three weeks before the season by baiting deer pellets and roasted soybean and corn mix it comes together Bow hunting about 25 yd from your stand. shotgun about 65-75 DS from your stand.
an if rifle about 100 yards from the stand .I have found out about Cmoredeer pellets.I have tested in south mississippi with roasted soybean and corn.You would not believe the results its wonderful The bucks are not nerves. I have been using the mix now for 5 months the buck love it and the does due too. if you would like more info contact me at lock68mann@yahoo.com my name is dan
Food Plot,corn,acorns,apples(smashed and rubbed around)doe in heat and all kinds of deer food from Cabelas or other stores. Get some salt and dig a hole and fill it up and cover with a log and leaves and pour a little around and the deer will pound it for years to get at the salt. If its dry and water is scarce put out some Water Troughs. Easy to fill with a drum in your truck or atv and some buckets or a few big used water coolers or bottles.
ya make sure you follow state guidelines but i would first start with corn and apples and pour molases on top of them for the deer to smell and once they start coming you dont need the molases any more.
In the state I hunt you are not aloud to bait deer or any game for that matter. But I find hunting buy some apple trees to work very well.
apples cut in half and rubbed against rees always attracts them along with doe in heat never fails me.
deer cane, the deer go wild for this stuff and it makes them grow massive racks
first find out if its legal in your state some people use corn feeders but check with your local game warden first
Corn, hay, salt licks pretty much sums it all up.
Old half rotten cantalope............beats the hell outta what these flatlanders is tryin' to feed ya!

Old half rotten cantalope............beats the hell outta what these flatlanders is tryin' to feed ya!
Big buns
Is it illegal to kill a whitetail deer with a knife?
My buddy has this corn gille suit that he made, tested it works.Is it illegal to kill a whitetail deer with a knife?
Slitting a wounded deers throat to kill it quickly is fine. Sneaking up on a deer and stabing it is probably illegal. But check your states laws, some of them allow weird stuff.Is it illegal to kill a whitetail deer with a knife?
Uhm good luck trying to kill a healthy deer with a knife. i promis you wont unless its wounded. They have way to good sense of movement and smell. especially if your trying to get close enough to knife it. the deers reaction is way to good and way to fast for you too get up and then start swinging a knife at it. people have missed with bows before because the reaction of the deer moved out of the way of the arow. now for it being illiegal i have no clue. If you do it please send me picks of the deer and the knife wound. i would love to see it.
You can legally kill a whitetail deer with a knife, but you better have a vaild hunting license and be in the appropriate season and following all other game laws (such as no bait, wear orange, etc)
Heck, you can totally outfit yourself for a legal rifle hunt, (right garb, right season, right permit) then simply take the ammo out of your gun and toss it into the lake and try to jump out of trees and knife a deer to death and it would be legal
stupid, but legal
I got a friend who actually killed a large blacktail with a knife. It took two guys and they dang near died, because you might think Bambi is an easy kill. Wrong ! This one was already wounded but it still had enough fight in him to lay them guys out,plus being all cut to pieces. I know another fella who hunted deer on horse back with a spear. that guy was quite sucsesfull. Better go with the spear ! Oh, Is it illegal? who cares !! LOL!
no i used to hunt whitetail with a knife in wisconsin, I would perch in a tree above a deer trail and wait for one to come wanderin through, and then jump down and stab it right in the jugular. It might take a few tries before you get it right and watch out for the antlers.
as fake and stupid as it sounds, my uncle jumped out of a tree on a deer and killed it with a knife once. i don't think it was a ';one stab kill';
but he killed it....i don't know if its legal where you are, your best bet is to call the DNR and ask.
Just don't ruin any meat! I would hope it was illegal to do so, but I'm a hunter and whatever it takes to put meat on the table....
I have I had only one bullet so I shot him in the head and cut his throat. It was legal.

What is the best way to keep deer and rabbits out of a veggie garden?
The deers are eating out tomato plants and half runners and the rabbits are eating the beets. I need help!!!What is the best way to keep deer and rabbits out of a veggie garden?
Get deer fencing and 10' t-posts. You can buy then at the local garden center--like a Grange Co-op.
Deer fencing is made of plastic. It's 10' high, black and you really don't see it. That's why the deer stay out. They cannot figure it out.What is the best way to keep deer and rabbits out of a veggie garden?
A very tall fence. Then try hanging bars of soap like Lava, dial something smelly irish spring on a rope. Blood meal and peper are suppose to help. You can deer proof is about all. Good luck.
My grandma always hung plastic bags or tin pie plates around her gardens. She hardly ever had problems.
Set high fence with sharp edges
take some tall metal poles (about 5 feet in height) and fencing and create a fence around the garden. in order to get into the garden u can put in a little gate somewhere along the fencing. all this is sold at stores like loew's and the home depot. u can also put rocks and stones in some places becuase deer don't really walk on those.
Caster Oil
It really works!
I tried the blood meal, pie tins, EVERYTHING!
First used it on my sunflowers after having it recommended by a local garden shop. It really works and it is not harmful to the plants, children or pets.
Put about 2 tablespoons of caster oil in a watering can and sprinkle around the perimeter and then over tops of veggies.
Reapply as needed.
A fence, needs to be at least 6 ft high, and the bottom has to flare out underground so the rabbits can't dig under it.
Or a gun.
Plant sunflowers to keep the deer out of the garden--as for the rabbits plant extra lettuce for them at one end of the garden just for them--these work for me--
shoot them
Deers and rabbits! You live in a very fun place! lol Embrace the little creatures , lol :-)
Put a fence around the garden.....just be careful not to put the fence up with the bunnies on the inside!
Human hair is a deterrent for deer.
The best way is to fence in your garden.
get a dog
Sprinkle some of that cologne that you got for a gift and don't like...I will bet that they won't like it either. Old Spice works great for just such a thing... Anything to get that human smell.
I just had a problem with something eating my peas... I bought some spray that is natural.. made with eggs, garlic, peppers..... and more stinky stuff. You just spray it on the leaves... and it STINKS!... and they don't eat it... it worked right away for me.. although the first night I applied it even I didn't want to be in the garden! But it was worth it... by the next day I could only smell it when I was right near the plants I sprayed it on and immediately whatever it was stopped munching. I have peas now!!!!! Yay! I did reapply after about a week and a heavy rain, and I'm hoping the animals will just remember and stay away... but I'm ready for them if they don't.
Keep a dog down by your garden. The smell of the dog should keep them away. Mothballs might also work.
go to the butcher shop and get some blood...... sprinkle that around the perimeter of your garden ..... this will work for a few weeks after that you will have to build multiple fences, one inside the other atleast 6 feet tall and solid so they cannot see through. Otherwise you will have to shoot them. A dog might work for a while but it will have to be a big one and trained to chase and bark at deer. Some dogs will just ignore them
MOTH BALLS ... spread around GOOD FOR gofers Too!
