Gardening

Fencing is the only thing that works, tall enough so they can't jump over it. I also have 2 dogs that love chasing them off if they come too close.
I have a tall thick hedge in my front yard, added gates on walkways. I had to remove about 25 feet of the hedge for a new well, that section is replanted but it will be awhile before that fills in. The deer loved the access, so I strung a lot of garden twine between the new buckthorns from just above ground up to 5' or so. When they walked into it, it stopped them and they haven't tried to break the lines. Eventually the twine falls apart, so I replace lines as needed. Haven't had any in that yard since.
