What works for us here in Maine is a 'three dimensional fence' as described by Premier Fence www.premier1supplies.com . Go to 3D anti-deer scented electric fence.Three strands of electric fence, middle strand out & away from the fence approx.. 3 feet, creates a three dimensional effect that disorients deer and causes them to approach slowly. combine this with bottle cap-like attachments to the fence that are apple or cider scented. Deer approach to sniff....Zap!...and they don't return! -----Original Message----- From: Allan Balliett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, December 28, 2001 4:28 PM Subject: re Deer Repellant
