I had a fence 8ft tall and wired with livestock fencing around my garden plot and it did the trick year in and year out. Never had one lettuce leaf nibbled on by a deer or any other four legged critter for that matter...
...Billy RayHow high does a fence have to be to keep deer out of a garden?
At least 15 ft. Deer can jump quite high. I bet they are enjoying eating your garden....
http://www.invisible-deer-fence.com/info鈥?/a>How high does a fence have to be to keep deer out of a garden?
8 ft is sufficient. Game fencing sold retail usually measures about 7-1/2 ft tall.
10 feet is the minimum but 13 will absolutely lock them out.
if u can get over it they can get over it 2 times easier
I was going to say more than 12.......so 13 sounds good.

Which type of corn do you put out to feed deer?
I saw some 50 pound bags of deer corn and seen other cheaper corn are they the same stuff?
i know u cant hunt them with baiting, in tennessee, u can attract them and have the corn go by like 2 weeks before season!
I also plan to put out a food plot, which seed do you all use for more succesfull big bucks?
does the deer cane work?
thanks.Which type of corn do you put out to feed deer?
Try and find some ';Acorn Rage';. It works so much better than the deer cane. It is just a powder that you spread either on the corn or pour it on a stump. Either way the deer will find it.
As far as the food plot goes try Clover, Soybean, Rye Grass.
Mossy Oak puts out some great product called Biologic. Biologic Full Draw. This mix included Brassicas, Clover and Wheat.
You can also get some Biologic Clover Plus. This mix includes white and red clover and chicory. The deer in our area absolutely love it.Which type of corn do you put out to feed deer?
any corn , it is all the same. As far as the feeder use clover. Never used the deer cane.
My brother in WI hunts with corn and he told me that last year he must've got a bad batch of it or something; the deer wouldn't touch it. He went to a different place with different corn, and they gobbled it right up, even when he put the new corn in a pile next to the 'bad corn'.
They are both probably the same corn. When you see corn that is cheaper than the other bags of corn, it is often because it has not been cleaned as well and will have bits of corn cob in it. This is just fine if you are throwing the corn out by hand but if you are using a feeder, the pieces of corncob will often clog up the mechanism and stop it from throwing corn. So, if you are throwing it out by hand, go for the cheaper stuff but if you are putting it in a feeder, you will have to buy the more expensive and cleaner corn. Just because a bag of corn says ';deer corn'; do not assume that it is clean and will work in your feeder, talk to the person at the feed store and see if it is clean or if the folks who bagged it thought it was too full of cob and debris and unfit for domestic stock and are selling it as deer corn. I've seen some pretty crappy stuff being sold as deer corn that I would have never put in my feeder.
For a feed plot, many sporting goods stores will sell a propriatary mixture of seeds for feed plots. I think most are pretty good but you can probably do as well at less expense by planting something like corn, clover, alfalfa or soy beans. Deer love them all when they are little and tender. Be sure a feed plot is okay before putting it out.
Another sure fire deer attractor is to bury a block of salt in a hole that is about 6 inches deeper than the block of salt. Cover it with soil and mix a few handsfull of ice cream salt into the covering soil. Somehow they will find it and will go crazy over it. They will paw up the earth around the salt block in getting to the salt and can often dig a hole that you wouldn't want to step into in the dark. So be careful where you bury your salt so you don't step in the hole on your way to the stand in the early morning dark. Another way to use a salt block is to put it in a mesh onion sack and hang it from a limb in a nearby tree. Be sure to hang it where it hangs out away from the trunk of the tree and high enough that they can't stand on their hind legs and hit the sack with their antlers. They will try to do this to get more salt and can tear down your salt block. One down side to this method is that it will attract raccoons and other climbers and they could chew through the sack string and let your salt block fall to the ground. If they do, it is not the end of the world, the deer will still come to it but it is just not as effective laying on top of the ground as when it is either suspended or buried.
I have never used deer cane so I am of no help to you there.
Any dried corn will work, and some old timers even use dried corn on the cob. You get less usable food in a 50 lbs bag of cob corn than loose corn.
Take care to scatter the corn, and not make piles. I have seen the piles get moist and cause the corn on the bottom to sour thereby ruining the pile.
I would use a winter mix for a food plot rather than just one specific type of plant, such as a clover/rye/winter pea/wheat mix. Most sporting goods stores will have them in stock now.
The advantage of using a mix is that you get several different plants for the deer to choose from ,in case they are picky that day, or one of the crops fails due to climate issues.
I haven't had a lot of success with the Deer Caine, but if you're allowed to make mineral licks I've found that Buck Jam, apple scented, has the deer digging holes 6 inches deep where it soaks into the dirt.
Corn is Corn...as far as food plots go, plant you some turnips...clover...etc. The deal with corn is this...as with any food source you offer a deer, if natural food sources are plentiful such as acorns...your corn will just grow mold.
BTW, we usually go to the local co-op and by mineral/salt blocks and put out, they will tear those things up...

Is it ok for my dog to chew on this deer antler i found in my yar?
its a smallish 'y' shaped deer antler that i found a couple years ago and i had kept in this drawer that i recently cleaned out my dog go ahold of it and loves it ....is it alright if she chews on it or is it to hard or dangrous?Is it ok for my dog to chew on this deer antler i found in my yar?
If your dog is chewing on the antler it is alright as long as it is not breaking off into pieces. The splinters from the antler can be dangerous for dogs.
In fact there are places that sell antlers as dog chews.
One place is www.petexpertise.comIs it ok for my dog to chew on this deer antler i found in my yar?
I wouldn't let my dogs chew on it, the only thing they are allowed is a raw marrow bone large enough that it can't get down their throats 1x a week, keeps them busy, outside though they can get messy let then have 1 for an hr then I take them wrap them %26amp; put them in the fridge till next day, great for the tarter and the marrow give a beautiful coat
if it is a few years old, it may be dried out and could splinter. if the dog swollowed some of those splinters, they could hurt his throat. go to the local butcher shop and get him a meaty bone to chew on, they usually sell them cheap.
I would say for you not to let your dog play with it. It may have deer diseases and maybe even infected diseases. So to my opinion stick with doggie chew toys..
You shouldn't let her chew on it. It is too hard and it could have bacteria. Your best bet is to stick to doggy toys.
It's not dangerous that she was chewing on it. But you need to take it away from her. It's a little too hard.
i agree it probably has a lot of germs and you dont want your dog to get sickSiam Esteemed Product Co Ltd

Yesterday i found a deer tick on my 4 month old puppy?
and i cut if off him with his grooming clippers cuz it wasnt coming off with tweezers..The head is still in there and i dont know how to get it out?Does anyone else know a way that wont be too painful to him and that will work.Yesterday i found a deer tick on my 4 month old puppy?
You might want to take him to the vet and get it removed it shouldnt cost much....Other wise he could get very very sick if its in to long and it will grow its body back taking more blood from you dog.....
I hope you get it out good luck !!!Yesterday i found a deer tick on my 4 month old puppy?
If you find you can't get the tick out with tweezers, the best way...bar none...to remove ticks is with a big dab of good ole Vaseline. That's right...totally smother the tick with Vaseline and basically it suffocates, backing itself out in the meantime. Its easy, painless and good for the dogs skin. If I don't recognize the type of tick as being a deer tick (black legged ticks are the main carriers of lime disease in our area of Canada) then I run it over to the vet just to make sure there won't be any problems. During our tick season, we do ';tick checks'; nightly on ourselves and our pets. A tick must be attached for at least 24 hours for the bacteria that causes lime disease to be transferred from the tick.
Hope this helps!
The tick will not grow its body back but I would take it to the vet any way if it was a deer tick. He can remove the head and check for limes disease. You do not want to take a chance on your dog getting that. There is some kind of shot your vet can give him so he won't get sick. Hope this helps.
First of all, next time this happens, trim the fur from around the tick. Then apply clear nail polish to the tick. This will force the tick to come out for air. Then remove it.
Second... now you have to go to the vet to get that head and legs removed. The parts can end up in your pet's blood stream. Don't wait. Do it ASAP.
Generally, if you can't get the tick off in one whole piece, you should take him to the vet and they will be able to.

What deer attractant have you had the best response to from deer?
I have a wild game butcher near me %26amp; each deer season he gives me the tarsal glands off of the bucks rear legs. I drag them to my site and it works great to bring in other bucks %26amp; does.What deer attractant have you had the best response to from deer?
Have you tried VS-1 Deer Scent?
Been using it for 4 years with excellent results. The does vaginal secretions and estrus urine at the peak of her cycle makes VS-1 the most powerful attractant ever produced.
Found it at;

Best of luck

driving a new vehicle causes them to jump in front of
you in an attempt to smash your front end.
Did you try ';Doe Urine';? My ex-husband in Maryland has used everything... Now he orders the corn that has additives that are addictive. It's illegal in MD., but it works.
corn, apples,
well how about ';c'mere deer'; here is where you can hear and order it.

Corn.
I tried apples but the damn squirrels stole em all and you could look around and see them stuck up in trees all over the place. It was really strange seeing oak and pine trees with apples in them.
Carrots.
Apples n Mole asses baby!

I hit a deer but my airbag did not deploy?
I was driving down 340E and from out of nowhere a deer runs in front of my car. I didn't see it to stop and it damaged the entire front end of my car. My front is almost gone and the hood was pushed up and back. However, my airbag did not deploy. Can this be a lawsuit against the manufacturers for a faulty airbag?I hit a deer but my airbag did not deploy?
lol... no ! They are not designed to deploy in every accident,. nor would you want them to.I hit a deer but my airbag did not deploy?
No.
People like you make me ill -- you walk away from a major collision and the first thing you do is look for someone, ANYONE to sue. Airbags (SRS) are designed to deploy only when a certain criteria of events are met. Just because YOURS didn't blow does not mean they are faulty.
I suggest you hire an expensive lawyer and give him a $10,000 retainer and head to court. The auto manufacturer will show up with five lawyers, ten engineers and two hundred witnesses. This is tried all the time and has ALWAYS failed.
There probably wasn't enough impact to deploy the air bag. I'm glad air bags don't pop out for every accident. They only pop out for a serious accident when the force of impact is enough to cause your head to hit the steeling wheel or windshield. If your car ran off of the road, the air bag would have pop out. But since you were stopped after you hit the deer, there was no reason for it to.
No, you can't. The cars on board computer decided that the impact was not hard enough to deploy the airbag(s), despite what you might think. By hitting a dear, you did not come to an instant stop, like you would if you hit another car/object, so there would not have been any need for the airbag.
It's a common misconception that airbags will go off in all accidents, as it's just not true.
I highly doubt it, Airbags are made for collisions with cars, not deer. If the deer had hit the car with enough force the airbag might have deployed, but from what you have explained the dammage almost entirely body damage not damage to the chassie or framework. Also if you aren't injured it would be almost pointless to file a lawsuit.
No, but you should have it checked out anyway. A deer can cause a lot of damage, but usually the airbag will only deploy if the impact is with a rigid object. If you were wearing a seat belt or not also matters.
Further, you can not file a lawsuit unless you were damaged in some way. Were you?
The airbag is designed to prevent you from becoming serously injured in a head on collision. If you were not seriously injured then I don't see how you can say the airbag is defective. Your collision was not serious enough to cause injury so there was no need for the airbag to deploy.
And the airbag would have done what? Airbags deploy only in specific types of collisions. No, you can't sue the manufacturer.
The insurance will wriggle out of it by stating it was the wrong kind of deer.
i hope you know when you killed that dear you put point on your lic i think its 3 for killing a animal
