deer hate string lines
anything that tangles up their feet they avoid like the plague
that is their weakness.... those skinny legs...
so....make a barrier run... 50' long... add a few jingle bells to it
makes them think it's dog tags ...and some old dog tags clinking work awesome.
you can set up a couple of ten foot poles 2 feet into the ground
and string fishing line.... with the green or pink plastic tape at three foot intervals for a visual barrier... to keep birds from hitting it... 0r nylon string, lasts one year and is more visible
you use sheet rock screws to set the lines 16 inches apart.
(note: you have to run a main line on the top from a stake up to the top over to the other top and down to a stake 6 feet out to put tension on the fence before stringing it.
usually you have a three foot stake six to 8 feet out in front...
then you tie a cable or attach a leaner... from the short stake
up to each tall stake... at a 45 degree angle
this allows you to run the string lines back and forth in bleacher style fashion making a non jump able fence... and if they try it and get tangled up in it.... they'll never look back.
2.)
deer follow the same exact trail to a feeding area ...and that's where you want to grab some LION, TIGER, or Cougar crap from your closest ZOO and place it strategically so they encounter it... I have seen it sold online some where....
might just be the URINE....though
SPEAKING of Urine: Human PEE works wonders so make up a big batch of your favorite beverage and then set up a long neck funnel into an old empty milk Jug to pee into it....
back track the trail and scent them out.... pour a little here and there...especially on trees! where there is a dry spot over hang
so the rain is less apt to wash away all the scent...
(if necessary:
use a motion detector camera to view the whole area to see how
they approach your yard.)

the only other way is to grow a deer food plot and feed them with it............
so they are not eating what you don't want them eating.
