A good way to keep dogs and perhaps deer out of my garbage?

I recently moved to the country area and my garbage can has no lid (County Owned Garbage Can). I ordered a new garbage can, but havent gotten it yet. We have had a problem with something getting into our garbage. I say something because we do have deer in our backyard all the time (I just dont know if they eat garbage or not). So after picking up nasty garbage out of the grass three times, I bought some spray that is suppose to keep dogs and cats away (You have to spray every day and its mostly used to train your own pets, not strays). I also got some twist-tied ';pepper-looking'; things that you hang up to help keep animals away. It worked for a few days. But the day the garbage man came, the garbage was all over the ground again. Any other ideas, except shooting the animals?A good way to keep dogs and perhaps deer out of my garbage?
Along the same lines as the spray you bought, but probably less expensive, would be ammonia. Pour it on the garbage every time you take a bag to the can. It should keep ANY animals away.





I think I would avoid putting food in the garbage bags, if possible, until the new can arrives.A good way to keep dogs and perhaps deer out of my garbage?
raccoons or bears pour a 1/4 cup of house hold ammonia into your garbage can
Put a piece of tin or something like that over the top of the can and weight it down with a concrete block AND spray the ammonia or other deterrent, as well. They also sell those big industrial size cans with the flip top lid at Lowe's. If you buy one, you will have two when the other one comes, but sometimes you need two--especially at Christmas and after other celebrations where there is lots of garbage. Maybe you should just buy one now. Best of luck.
Pine Sol or amonia works. had this problem beore.
Put your ';non-food'; trash (cans, newspapers, etc.) in your trash can with no lid while you wait for your new trash can. Bury all ';food'; trash (banana skins, apple cores, turkey bones, etc.) underground as a temporary measure until the new trash can comes. The ';food'; trash will decompose on its own.
It wouldn't be deer but it could be raccoons. I think some sort of temporary cover - plywood and a big rock or two - would be best thing. Hope that new can comes soon
Probaby you have racoons. Deer will not eat out of garbage, they are vegitarian and eat mostly living things. They also eat acorn and walnuts but not garbage. The powder does seem to have potential but it trains your animals and has to be applied daily. The best defence is the same way you keep animals out of the garden. Use silver pie plates and a good trick is to get one of those funny little caractures that talk or laugh and are set off by movement. It will scare the bejesus out of any animal and does not harm them in any way.
Try sprinkling bleach in the can an late on the garbage. I hared it works.

What should you do when you hit a deer in the road?

I hit a deer once, luckily an ambulance turned up and moved the poor thing to the grass verge. The deer didn't die immediately, although it's wounds were fatal I didn't have the heart to finish it off.What should you do when you hit a deer in the road?
I would call for help for the deer. I feel if it could be saved, then I would want that; but, if the deer was in pain, and could'nt be saved I would'nt want it to suffer.What should you do when you hit a deer in the road?
put it the boot of the car and take it to the butchers
call the paramedics and have them meet u there with a gurney! jk! call police or somethin so they can remove it from the road, or a veterinarian if it's still alive. have ur car checked over, hitting animals on the road can be very damaging to ur car, not to mention urself!
sling it in the back of your car, if you have a mate who's a butcher, get him to sort it out, if not ,pay someone, venison, hung for a few weeks is really tasty. Years ago onour way home from a night out in my mates car, we hit a sheep it was dead so in the back i went. Luckily his cousin was a butcher, he sorted it for us, according to him it was only about 18 months old, so it tasted o.k. and was tender
i think as they are CROWN PROPERTY (as are swans) you are supposed to call the police and they remove the animal ...maybe to their own freezer, but you can get into trouble knocking one over then picking it up as it can be argued that it was deliberate ..this aslo is the case when knocking over pheasants if you knock it over you cant pick it up but the person behind you can... weird but hey thats england lol
In GB the legal stance is that if you knock down a deer, killing it, you CANNOT keep it.


The next person on the scene has legal claim to the beast, to do with what they please.
if it is the forest area, hand it over to the forest rangers.

Can you deer hunt with a rifle that holds 10 rounds in Georgia?

Am trying to find info on current hunting laws in GA and i can not find any website. I am wondering if it is legal to hunt with an SKS in Georgia. OR do you have to have a 5 round clip. Wouldnt that be illegal since you modified the weapon ?Can you deer hunt with a rifle that holds 10 rounds in Georgia?
just dont load it with more than the law allowsCan you deer hunt with a rifle that holds 10 rounds in Georgia?
I live in Roswell Georgia and here's the deal, the limit on our magazine capacity is 6 rounds, but you can carry as many 6 round clips as you like. It's still perfectly legal to use a non-factory magazine, since we don't have restrictions on that topic, and the SKS is legal, too. I have heard that some areas have restrictions on what caliber you can use on certain game, and I haven't heard of the 7.62 or .308 being banned anywhere in GA.
I have no idea about how many rounds your gun can hold in GA, but if you just switch magazines to a lower capacity one, that's not illegal. You could also just buy a 5 round magazine plug, designed precisely for this situation.


If you're unsure, just pick up the phone and call the DNR!!
Wat odds,one bullet is enough,the other rounds is only for if you get lost,lol---if you need 10 rounds in a gun stay home and go shoppin with the wife.





Looks like the Peta crowd made a visit according to the thumbs down.lol,if we all lost our appetite then perhaps they would be happy.
I have hunted in some 30 states and have never found one yet that allows more than a 5 shot capacity on big game...
check your laws its usually a 5 round capacity
No, six is the limit.
yes you are allowed to do that

The Nebraska 'area'? Do you have any idea how big Nebraska is? Narrowing it down might help- there are great hunting places all across the state.

How about deer meat for dogs that are on a raw food diet?

Do you think one could cut up deer,or have it ground..bones and all and feed it to our dogs? Also what about old,freezer burnt,or spoiled meat..Is it still feedable?





I have read a lot about feeding chicken to dogs but is turkey just as good?


Thank you!How about deer meat for dogs that are on a raw food diet?
Nothing wrong with feeding your dog Deer or old freezer burnt meat. BUT spoiled no not at all although a dogs stomach can handle most bacterias if not immune it could get sick and die. As far as the ground bones i would not recommend this as it may have sharp edge's that could cut up the dogs insides.How about deer meat for dogs that are on a raw food diet?
you have to put this into perspective, dogs evolved over thousands of generations to process raw meat, they are carnivores that love meat of any kind. Deer is great because they would have hunted this animal in the wild.





To all of you who only want your dogs to eat Science diet or some crap like that, think about this. The oldest dog on record is a 30 year old RAW FED dog in Australia. and tens of thousands of generations of evolution and natural selection easily Trump the one hundred year history of dry dog food.





Deer meat is fine, go easy on the A1 sauce, JK
Deer meat, fine... as long as it doesn't have that ';mad cow'; disease that deer/elk get.





Old/freezer burnt, is not good.





Turkey, just as good as chicken. however, do not give them the bones.
The meat is fine, but CWD has infiltrated the deer population even worse that BSE has infiltrated the cow population.
Dogs LOVE wild meat, go for it. I feed a raw diet, and my dogs love moose meat better than beef.
Deer meat is okay for dogs. (I actually prefer venison over beef for my own food as well. It's leaner and I like the taste better.)





The dog food I feed has deer meat in it (I know you're refering to raw though): http://www.merrickpetcare.com/store/deta鈥?/a>





Turkey and chicken are also both okay.
Deer do have parasites inside of them. I remember one of our neighbors gave his lab some raw meat from a deer he had killed the week before and the dog got sick. Consider giving your dog cooked meat only, the bones aren't that nutrional that it needs to be added, also could cause intestional damages. Nobody should eat spoiled meat including a dog but freezer burnt isn't going to make them sick but they might not eat it if it tastes funny.
Personally I wouldn't give my dog a turkey because of the crap they feed them. /think about their size/


Venison is great, however, they still need the ';bones %26amp; cartalige'; tissues. Freezer ';burnt'; is ok.


But that's just my opinion.


Late Entry : Wilfredo, I do admire your optimism :)))
I know raw feeders give their dogs deer meat, but I've always been a little skeptical for fear of parasites and haven't tried it. Old, freezer burnt meat is fine, never spoiled meat (why take a chance?) Turkey is fine, I feed it regularly.
Dogs should not be fed raw meat of any kind. They have been domesticated and their abliity to process raw meat is not like it once was. Check with your Vet.
i really don't recommended you ,if you ask a vet he will tell you the same, if you buy a high quality dog food like royal canine your dog will be really healthy but if what you want is natural dog food buy organic dog food or natural dog food if you feed your dog raw food by the time your dog may get sick.


high quality dog food in pet stores is made by professionals vets, breeders etc. and they contain the exact amount of proteins,vitamins and minerals for your dog to stay healthy


I TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE I HAD HAVE DOGS FOR 13 EYERS AND I HAVE TRIED ALL KINDS OF DIETS INCLUDING RAW DIET AND HIGH QUALITY DOG FOOD IS WHAT IT HAS WORKED BETTER.

Why has my dog developed a taste for deer droppings?

He snacks on it whenever he can find it. I'm not really sure why though. He eats Innova dog food. Could it have something to do with colder weather?Why has my dog developed a taste for deer droppings?
Nothing to do with diet, nothing to do with lacking nutrients or lacking minerals, and absolutely nothing to do with weather. Dogs will be dogs! The grosser the object, the more they want to rub on it, roll in it, and eat it.





I would try to discourage this behavior or make huge efforts to avoid the situation if possible. Deers are carriers of Leptospirosis and Judge can certainly become infected.Why has my dog developed a taste for deer droppings?
Deer droppings are tasty little morsels to any dog... so are rabbit pellets and even cat poop. Some of it is because when a dog smells something they analyze the scent and identify each and every component of it, they discover that the droppings are nutrient rich and therefore consider it food. All dogs will do it if given the chance. All animal droppings can contain parasites, so I would discourage my dog with a ';Leave it';.
The eating of droppings ect is usually a deficency in vitaimins and nutriants, this does not mean you arent feeding him right it just means the vit ect are not properly balanced in his body you can by vits ect from your local vet or pet shop, they can be as treats, to put in water or as tablets treats work best.
Dogs just have a natural tendency towards eating droppings. (mine personally prefers goose poop-in bulk). The deer probably has something to do with the residual deer smell. You're feeding a really good food, so no worries about bad nutrition. Just keep him on a tight leash!
