Every one I've tried over the years has failed within days or a week, all well known or highly rated ones, deer seem to feel they're a flavor enhancer, lol..

I've been eliminating stuff deer like to eat as a result, but still have a few areas of plants that are supposed to be resistant to browsing, but they still get hit...

I've about given up but found a different brand with different ingredients and figured I'd try it...well so far it's been working over a month, even after some heavy rains.... The name is Trico deer and elk repellant, one of the ingredients is sheep fat, the claim is months of protection, so far so good..
So if anyone has a need for a repellant that works, it's worth a try....

Thanks. I've tried a bunch of different ones with the same results as you.

We use the Trico-Pro on our farm/nursery. It does a reasonably good job on things that deer like to eat. It will NOT keep bucks from rubbing on trees though.

Have some guys using this product with good luck, complaint is poles not heavy duty enough.
Push the stake into the plants they are eating.

Hoppe's No.9 solvent on my 870 guarantees no deer within about 175 yards. G.

Just because it turns you on doesn't mean it will turn the deer on.

I have had 100% success with using a 22 magnum for deer repellant and I have never had one return a second time. You can't argue with success.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Best deer repellant I've read about on here is that Canadian Jurassic Park.

He sits in stands and takes selfies and no deer come around.

Lol. I’m still waiting to see the pics that show the fruits of your labor. A couple night time pics of little bucks is not it!

I bought the stuff you spray on flowers and plants. Stinks like something died and rotted. It worked well to keep the deer from eating my roses and hostas around our home. You have to reapply it about every two weeks.
Got it at tractor supply in garden section.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
