Ha! Deer learn super fast with the wolf urine and feces trick. Landscaper friend out west laughs when clients drop big bucks on the stuff. He has seen the deer right in there after application! When they ask him what deterrent will work he replies "an eight foot cyclone fence... maybe"

I had already prepared the ban-hammer after seeing the title of the thread ;)

I think JR West also applied this or a similar method on their rural lines. Seems to be an effective way of keeping those pesky vermin off the tracks.

We used to sell predator urine at the hardware store that I worked in. We had one guy who was so enthralled with it as a deer deterant that we sued to think he was on commission. The problem is that as CT says you have to apply it frequently in different place or the deer get wise.

lion's roar

Supplied, I suppose, by some company affiliated to the Seibu Group? :-)
