The most fun I’ve had at keeping deer out of the garden is the motion activated water sprinklers. Make sure you have a good seat a few times to see the reaction the deer have. Also, don’t forget to turn them off before going into the garden yourself… I’ve gotten an ear full and face full of water more than once 😆
A sound activated sprinkler in the dog kennel is a great thing for training a barking dog.....I lik the idea Of a motion sensor in garden with sprinkler......a little hair dye in the hose could be fun ??? Be Well
I use t-posts and monofilament fishing line, about 30lb test or so. Drive in your t-posts, I go about every 10ft or so. Put your top strand at about nose high(to a deer) and a second strand about a foot- foot and a half below. After dark, the deer can't see the fishing line, and when they touch it, it stops them cold because they don't understand what it is that they're touching. This has worked well for me for several years.
I've been watching your channel for years and I love seeing your connections to the past ways, your demonstrations, methods, etc. Thank you for making a record for those of us who don't have our very own Pa Mac. ❤
Good Video as usual, The fence you are describing using the 2 wires and then the 1 wire 36 inchesapart from the other fence is actually a modified version of what they called the mega fence....One of the southern universities maybee LSU or Ole Miss..did a leghnthy and costly research project determining what fence worked on deer and hogs....This was the fence they settled on...there is a youtube video somewhere of it and it has been very helpful to my garden beans...I just scaled it down to my needs...and used poly wire with p-nut butter to make sure they know it was a live fence...one lick and wow!!!! Short explanation of why it works....Deer can jump high....But they don't jump long.....and they tend not to trap themselves between 2 barriers if they can see them.....hence 2 fences 36 inches apart and about deer high....it will work...
I'll never forget driving at night somewhere in Missouri, driving over a culvert bridge and all of a sudden this deer leaped in the air in front of me. Thought sure I was going to hit him/her but it jumped clear over my truck, that's when I knew what great jumpers they are. You need a very tall fence if you want to keep them out of the garden.
I build a 4 ft tall picket fence out of black locust off my property.I split and rived all the pickets using the methods off of your old fashioned garden fence video. A lot of the methods I use are inspired by your videos. It's a lot of work but I enjoy it. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your content.
We mix sour milk and raw eggs, Mix it up with just enough water to spray the young plants. Sure if it rains you may need to re-apply less then before. Deer sample everything as you know. But smell is one of the best defense that works.
Hello from far north California. The deer here used to leave the citrus trees alone until they were a last resort as food, and the strawberry patch, too. No more. They eat them any ole time, now.
I put up a 5 foot welded wire fence with a strand of wire above that for a total of six feet. Been about 99% effective. We turn the other one percent into jerky. It also helps that our garden is in our back yard. Really enjoying your “talkies” (like when movies first got sound😂).
I plant deer friendly crops around the perimeter of the garden like peas and okra (they love the leaves). They like the food close to the cover of the woods and tend to not venture deep into the garden.
Pa Mac, love your videos, the "old timey" feel of them is great! For the past 2 years I've used 2 strands of electric fence, one at about 4' and one at about 2', with surveyors tape tied to the top strand so they can see it. So far it's worked great, except for squirrels, which got in and destroyed the corn.
I have done a double electrical fence similar to what you mentioned. For the outer fence I ran 3 wires starting at 4-6 inches above the ground (to keep small animals and dogs out), then 2 more strands up to a height of about 3-4 feet. Then I ran a second fence about 3 feet inside and ran 2 strands that were higher than the highest strand of the outer fence (highest was about 5 feet or so) and didn’t run any electricity through the inner fence. Over about 3 years, I only had one small deer get inside and was otherwise very successful
A few years back I thought I'd try something that sounded easy, winter wheat, so I picked up a bucket of hard red and got to work prepping the ground. I was nearly a month late getting it in, but by mid January I had neat rows of little tiny green sprouts so I was hopeful. Two weeks later the ground was as bare as the top of my uncle's head. I suspect it was a combination of deer and rabbits. As it was the only thing green in the winter for as far as the eye could see it was like putting up a neon sign that said "FREE GRUB!!!" When I did a google search for how to keep deer out of your winter wheat, I found all kinds of references on how to plant food lots to attract deer. I don't want to feed the deer, I want to feed me! I thought about a fence, but I live on the High Plains. 50 to 80 mph winds are not uncommon here. I've seen chain link fencing get clogged with tumble weed and corn husks and then those thick galvanized steel posts just buckle and the fence lays down faster than a basset hound on a front porch. What I plan on doing is running chicken wire around it, coming up about 3 feet plus another 2 feet below ground. I've seen these rabbits tunnel under anything less. Outside of that, I think my best bet will be the double electric fence. I hadn't thought of running one outside of the other, but that makes sense. Or maybe I'll just go to the store and buy some whole wheat flour. Either or. Thanks for the tips, Pa Mac!
Eight years ago we put up a 6' orchard fence around the garden, orchard, chicken run and all livestock holding areas. We have a huge feral hog problem, rabbits galore and a deer plague. Since we put up the orchard fence nothing has got into the areas we fenced. It wasn't cheap but it works for us, so in the end it was cheaper than failing and losing our produce, fruits, chickens etc.
Lost all my beans, amaranth, cucumbers, winter squash, tumeric, sunchokes.. 3 almond trees, sweet potatoes and lettuce because of 1 deer.. my wife ran at it and got within 5 ft of it before she finally jogged off a bit before looking back and continuing to walk away.. Lots of good information! Thank you!
Using 6' fencing still had the deer easily hop over it. Then put 8-9' bamboo posts (freebie from elsewhere on property) attached to the fence at intervals. Ran garden fabric in 18" strips (like the stuff people try to use as a weed-blocker) across the bamboo heights at the top of the fence to give me ~8/9' of barrier. The top/fabric of it waves in the wind and is much more visible than the fencing. No problems (yet) since. If I see further problems then intend to do the ol' double-fence/interval method with a smaller fence at perimeter spaced out.
Hi there Pa Mac, we didn’t have too much trouble with deer, even though they were in the area. It may have been because the garden was so close to the house like someone suggested, or the dogs like you suggested. We did put tobacco stalks on the garden in the fall to rot for fertilizer and to keep the soil loose, and plow them in come spring. I don’t know if this could have worked double duty as deer deterrent or not. But they may have not liked the smell.❤️🤗🐝
Thanks for another great video. I also love the music. I've put up a woven fence around our garden and then a strand of orange surveyors tape about two feet behind the first fence. This worked for me. Now I'm about to enlarge our garden area and I want to include my honeybee yard in it as well, so I plan on doing a wooden fence with electric outside of it. I've got lots of bears running around and I really need the electric fence to keep them out.
While building our fence is an ongoing process (several years by now, really slow going making our own lumber and such, prioritizing an other issue...) deer have been a nuisance many times. They love hosta's, they love beetroot, they love strawberry leaves apparently? They love many a thing, alas... What they really dislike though is human pee mixed with 9 parts water over all these things. Even during periods with lots of rain they stay away from it for over a month. And it's a perfect plant fertilizer to boot! Between the plants works aswell most of the time. Now these are swedish deer, european roe deer. I don't know if that makes a lot of difference, but as I've started to call them forest rats instead, you might guess I ain't a big fan either. Love your videos!
I do 2 strains of hot wire around my fairly small garden and 2x4 fencing with t post around all my fruit trees. With a bunch of hunting. Now dads garden is big 1/2 to a acre big. He sprinkles hair from the barber shop around and pee's in a bottle and spreads that around out there too. But he also plants enough where is deer eat some or crop doesnt do well we still get some produce
Living Traditions Homestead has two five foot welded wire fences about five feet apart and that seems to have worked 100% for their fruit orchard/garden areas.
Thanks for sharing with us Pa, I'm for filling the freezer myself but you have to stay within the D O W's Laws. Learn them before breaking them. Stay safe and keep up the very enjoyable videos. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.
Brush piles along in front of your fence is a cheap solution. Like you said they tend not to jump things they can't tell how far it is. Deer naturally avoid the branch piles for reasons of getting stuck broken limbs. Also the can jump up. But not very far distance wise.
Billy bond from perma pastures farm makes and sells what he calls the world's best deer repellent it's bone sauce but it is supposed to be proprietary made and blend. Some people put on wooden stakes or what they call mule tape for the garden but it's made for trees. Alot of people have great things to say about it. I've never used it i wish I had that problem. Fill the freezers what I'd do.
It's recommended to be painted and slathered on the tree during dormant season. It must be applied correctly: slathered using a paint brush. Billy's is made of deer bones, and he's in the process making some of bear bones, I've heard. I've heard good things about it.
You must be in Southern Missouri, Arkansas, Northern Louisiana area. Those are some tiny dear. lol I have used noise makers along with flagging tape. These along with my Great Pyrenees have been very successful. Good luck!
Building a fence is the only relaxed way of ridding yourself of constant harrasment. It can be a 4 foot fieldfence with wire strands every foot up to 8 feet. Make braces to stretch it in the corners. Get rachets for the wirestrands and do some vertical tiedowns every 4 foot. Yes it's work and expence but , it will set you free.
I might have one or two or 10 dogs, they work great. Then you have to fenced the garden to keep the dogs out of the garden. Also, I cut up Irish Spring soap with a hot knife, make an S hook with a piece of wire and hang that in my fruit trees. Keeps the deer out very well.
Besides a 12ga slug (couldn't use a rifle there), I had an 8 foot high cattle wire fence with a 4 foot high wire fence about 6 feet out from it. Never had a deer inside. They couldn't clear both and the small one kept rabbits and rats out as well.
Ages ago I got from ebay a plastic net or fence 6 feet wide , it was like 75 with shipping, 360 feet long, you have any secrets for mice and rats? Football size?
Solar motion lights, field wire connected in a similar manner as your secondary fence that uses the blank shotgun shells that het triggered and scares the deer.
Turn off the electric fence. Cut some aluminum foil squares and hang them every 5 feet or so on the hot wire. Then put peanut butter on the outside of those aluminum squares. Re energize your baited fence. Deer will be attracted to the bait and get a good wet, slobbery tongue shock on that fence. They will leave it quick. Works a trick.
Have a question regarding three sisters planting. Has anyone had any luck with squash interplanted with corn to repel deer? Id hate to put up more fencing than id have to in the back yard
I have had good luck with blood meal, I have a pasture planted for the deer with clover and brassicas which they are into. There are not huge quantities of deer here, so I might be just lucky - a moose did trample my turnip patch though!
Deer sure have no problem with height, had one come out of the gully and jumped clear over my pickup truck to the other side of a one lane road. It was at night, scared the heck outta me! Never knew a deer could jump like that.
I did the deer repellant spray (for my baby oak) that I got at Home Depot. It actually worked, but holy cow does it stink like none other. Don’t get it on your hands or your boots lol
No deer here, we have coons and possums instead and being in town, not allowed to shoot 'em. Fortunately we also have coyotes...they sorta do their job. Just wish ol' Wiley would get that crafty one eyed gimpy bandito! Perhaps I should leave out an Acme tool bag for ol' Wiley Coyote.😏😂
My grandmother used to plant two gardens every year. One for us, one For the deer. Us men used to also go hunting every year. Sometimes we got a deer. Sometimes we didn't but grandma she got a deer every year. I asked grandma. How are you getting to deer every year? She said I plan them in the garden.
dogs might be good for some deer. but we have a momma deer with two fawns that chases my dogs. it will walk within ten foot you. stays around 24 hours a day. jumps fences. one of the fawns came up and let us touch it.
5 or 6 foot fence with sharpened stakes sticking up a few feet inside the fence. The deer jump over the fence and get impaled on the stakes....you got meat a veggies for dinner
Hi ! Can you let the subbtitles a little bit more longer, from France my language is school. I like your way of life, are you really living in this farm ?
I've planted over hundred fruit and evergreen trees and had to cage them all or sure enough the deer or rabbits will mess with them, the funny thing is they leave the garden alone............Luckily I got the fencing for free from a nice old guy that used to raise cattle in his woods, just had to go there and take it down.
What I ordered and used was pretty expensive for a tiny bit, which I diluted with tallow (1:1). I painted it on 13 orchard trees. Either the bear has been thawrted by the bone sauce, or he's just not around this fruit season. The deer, however, enjoyed the fruit! And this is deer bone sauce. From testimonies, I'm convinced bone sauce is the way to go and will order more. It's recommended to be applied during dormant season, really slathered on! I'd much preferred to have electrical fencing, but my better half doesn't want to afford it on 30+ orchard trees.
I use a motion sensor to power one of those wavy car lot guy things. You know, that flap around and gets your attention at used car lots??? Anyway, because they are so unpredictable, the deer never get used to them like other fixed scarecrows. Just remember that they are there cause it will scare the crap outa you as well...
I used to be against hunting deer. After living in a deer I infested suburban area where there deer have destroyed my gardens, flowers and fruit trees, I no longer have that objection. 😆
I have taken cans and Tide fishing line on about 5 empty cans and place them on five gallon buckets and stretch the fishing line from bucket two bucket when the deer walk into the line it pulls the cans off making a loud noise and that deters them away seems to work pretty good
The most fun I’ve had at keeping deer out of the garden is the motion activated water sprinklers. Make sure you have a good seat a few times to see the reaction the deer have.

I’ve got motion sensor flood lights, the deer thank me for lighting up the area while they eat. Lol.
A true naturalist and gentleman

Irish spring soap, hung in old socks , and planted marigolds. And helps if your neighbor has Alpacas around back side your garden.

6’ of WW fencing into a cylinder 👍🏼. Works the best for me for fruit trees. For at least the first 5 years of the tree.
Great solutions! Thanks for sharing all your practical wisdon
I put a solar powered electric fence around it with one strand high for deer and one low for coon. 100% effective so far!

About using a radio, i haven't tried it yet but i hear put it on a talk show station.
TY
I'm going to go drive my girlfriend crazy with some Pa Mac music!
Good ideas and amusing , and dogs will do that , especially when people are watching
My husband said you’re lighting up the yard so that you can feel better. They don’t have to worry lol and he’s probably right I think.😂
No deer here, we have coons and possums instead and being in town, not allowed to shoot 'em. Fortunately we also have coyotes...they sorta do their job. Just wish ol' Wiley would get that crafty one eyed gimpy bandito! Perhaps I should leave out an Acme tool bag for ol' Wiley Coyote.😏😂

Put a "community?" hiking biking trail around the garden? Idk two birds with 1 stone type of thing
Are those Round House overalls?
Good video
dogs might be good for some deer. but we have a momma deer with two fawns that chases my dogs. it will walk within ten foot you. stays around 24 hours a day. jumps fences. one of the fawns came up and let us touch it.
Only thing working for my orchard is a four foot square with four t posts and six feet of fencing around.
5 or 6 foot fence with sharpened stakes sticking up a few feet inside the fence. The deer jump over the fence and get impaled on the stakes....you got meat a veggies for dinner
Grenades work well

My homemade BONE SAUCE.
What I ordered and used was pretty expensive for a tiny bit, which I diluted with tallow (1:1). I painted it on 13 orchard trees. Either the bear has been thawrted by the bone sauce, or he's just not around this fruit season. The deer, however, enjoyed the fruit! And this is deer bone sauce. From testimonies, I'm convinced bone sauce is the way to go and will order more. It's recommended to be applied during dormant season, really slathered on! I'd much preferred to have electrical fencing, but my better half doesn't want to afford it on 30+ orchard trees.

That oughta do, WT
Jolene is soooo cute! 😍
I use a motion sensor to power one of those wavy car lot guy things. You know, that flap around and gets your attention at used car lots???
Anyway, because they are so unpredictable, the deer never get used to them like other fixed scarecrows. Just remember that they are there cause it will scare the crap outa you as well...

On the other hand, you could just decide that you're farming deer now..
I used to be against hunting deer. After living in a deer I infested suburban area where there deer have destroyed my gardens, flowers and fruit trees, I no longer have that objection. 😆
Great video, thank you for making these!. Deer are big rats.
Very nice sharing my friend ❤🌹👍

Welcome to my world of nature, travel and music 🏞🏞
I have taken cans and Tide fishing line on about 5 empty cans and place them on five gallon buckets and stretch the fishing line from bucket two bucket when the deer walk into the line it pulls the cans off making a loud noise and that deters them away seems to work pretty good
Forgot about that one, Dustin. I've had good success with that one, too
Bone sauce
I've heard people swear by bone sauce.
The best way to keep deer out of the garden is to keep the DEER in the FREEZER…..
Be careful putting a dog on a lead if you have ANY coyotes in the area.
Eat them will keep them out.
