Goat poop thread got me to thinking. If the goat poop comes from a doe in heat or a buck in rut, it might attract deer. Goat and deer being very closely related. So I started wondering if there is a poop that repels deer and other foragers.
Turns out, our zoo sells predator poop and advises it not be used in the garden, but on the outside of the garden. Turns out, if an animal eats meat, the scent of what they ate remains in the pee and poop. Now I imagine lion pee would be just as good as lion poop, but they can not seem to fine a minimum wage employee to collect the pee.
I don't think I am ready to buy lion poop from the zoo, but we do have some anti-deer strategies. Simple things, like when you need to pee you go to the back fence. When I raised poultry, the eggs that didn't hatch went there too. When wife cuts kids hair, it goes to the back fence. Basically, the rules of deer hunting but in reverse.
I have seen fake glowing predator eyes. I think they were LEDS. Have thought about those solar powered marker lights, but mainly so I can walk around at night and not trip on things.
The funniest in garden strategy was eaten by a dog. We had this solar power frog which shot a burst of water at anything that moved. The batteries lasted well into the night. Turns out, it was way too fun to survive the dogs.
Anyone else have some mild or wild anti deer strategies.
