Wonder if that'll keep deer outta my pea patch?
No, but there's a few ways I've been successful at.. One is fence with hounds enclosed.. Another is a 10 ft fence.. And the strangest of all is,,,, I use white cotton string about 2 ft off the ground held up by stakes every 30 or so ft up and down every other row to keep the crows from pulling up the corn whil it's in it's first stage of comming up. After its 3-4 inches they can't pull it up, so I take the string up so I can plow it.. Well, one year a long time ago I planted some corn for a friend and told him he needed to string it within a week. At the same time, I planted some peas a couple hundred feet away. He got mixed up and put the string over my peas. The crows ate the corn but the deer would not cross the white string. After that crop was harvested I figured there may be something to this, so, for years after that I put the white string up and down my rows of peas and they never ate any more. it's some work because I had to take it up to plow and then put it back down and had to pick around the string but at least I got the peas. Strange, but true..Quote:

I was told or read to use clear mono fishing line. They can't see it and back off from it. But my deer walk through it to get to the peas. I have white shopping bags and alum. pie pans tied to the post and line. I've heard of using a radio, they don't like the noise. But that would be about a 1,000 feet of extension cords.
I could sleep all day and sit close with a crossbow.
Right now I'm peeing in a jug and scattering it around in the afternoon. That seems to work till I get a rain.
It's larger than just kite string.. Got it at WM. it's fairly large and came in a huge roll. I'm telling u they have never crossed the string. As a matter of fact I have put it in the woods and it will funnel the deer to the end of it where u have ur stand.
I tried that and they will get used to it just like hair, soap and other loud smelling stuff. I had a couple scare crows one time that I doctored every day with smelly stuff and by the time the peas were ready all I had was a few in a 5 ft circle around them. Gave that up for the string..Quote:

Thanks, EZ. I'll see if I can find some string.
EZ a piece of old garden hose in your blueberry bushes will work as well. We put it in ours and in our cataba worm trees as well.
I'm gonna tell my dad bout the white string in the peas.

I ain;t lost a berry yet. Course you saw hiw big my bushes are. LOL Probably can't see em. I MIGHT be having to plant some mo Bushes in the near future. MAYYYYY be moving
I planted blueberries in my yard in Pelahatchie 25+ years ago and birds never have bothered them. They eat em up here in Madison. Couldn't get the garden hoses to stay in the bushes good enough, but they did work while they r there.
Where u movin DD?
That thing would keep me out of them berries. My friend took some string and put around his corn patch then every few feet he had a short string with a CD tied to it. They reflect the light at night. He hasn't had any problem with the deer since.
What CD's work best, Rap or Frank Sinatra??Quote:

We have these mud martins that wanna build mud nests every year over our windows. We tried the rubber snakes and they held them off for awhile. Soon though, they figured them out and would knock 'em off the casings of the windows. Next I tried mouse traps and they did the job. Didnt ever catch a bird in the trap but I know it scared the crap out of em every time one snapped.:crazy: Those martins wound up down at the neighbors building on their windows.RoflRoflRofl
This wont work, BIGFEETS will eat way more than the birds.nononoQuote:

About 30 inches off the ground. Tomato sticks work great. What I did after driving the stakes in the ground is; I got a piece of PVC about 18 inches long, ran the string through the pipe and tied it off to the first stake and walked to the second one, wrapped the string around it letting the string feed through the pipe as I did all this while holding the ball of string in the other hand. It should feed from the center of the ball of string. Ud b surprised how easy it is to walk along feeding the string and wrapping it around the stakes.Quote:

I have plenty of kit string, got it on clearance at wallys years ago for 5 cent a roll. I'll make about 10 passes with it to get the size up.
I got the string out. Sat down on the deck with a pbr. I watch 8 deer walk close to the fence then out into the woods. Hope this works.
I found that Jerry Baker recipe. It's for moles, but it should work for any animal. Collect 1/2 gallon of piss, let it sit in the sun for a day, add water to full. In mole runs, dig and find tunnels. Add about 1 cup of mix both ways in runs and cover. I found other things for moles too.
Anyone remember the old Central Hardware stores? They had a product called Edge. It was a premix round-up, about the time we were hearing of round-up. It came in a gallon jug. You would remove the cap, take the seal out and replace the cap. The cap had holes in it. If you walked with jug about 3 foot high you would have a path on a chain link fence about 4 inches wide. So a few holes in a cap would be a good way to spray your stuff.
