    Default Anybody ever?

    Any body ever tried one of these to keep deer out of sunflowers?

    Thinking about putting it on a timer off/on. If that sucker jumped up every 20 minutes for five minutes it should spook them.

    My daughter thinks this is a great idea.

    How much do they cost?
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    You will confuse the deer and the rednecks. They see that thing and think for sure that they can finance their dove hunt for $29 down and $10 a week. No credit? No Problem! Come on down to Duck Tapes Discount Dove Depot. Between the inflatable thing and the bedazzled jeans, you will literally have to get the law out before they are convinced you aren’t just profiling based on the ‘87 Iroc, as to the reason their dove hunt credit application is denied without even offering a flex pay plan.

    I definitely have a place for you in my organization. I had not figured that angle out. Financing dove hunts. And hey, my field borders I-95.

    The 20 ft ones cost $200.

    So if deer are color blind does the color matter?

    May I can put a recording that shouts "shoot it, shoot it" when it first jumps up.

    Out of the box thinking. I like it.

    Deer aren't completely color blind. Just to reds and oranges. I'd go white or blue.

    I would think they would get used to it. We had a fish farm and used a propane scare cannon to keep the birds out of the ponds. It worked for a week or so, then they would jump a little when it went off and go about trying to catch the fish.

    For two hundred, if it works a couple weeks it may get me out of the four to six leaf state where browsing does to cause as much damage. We are trying scents also with some success. soap and moth balls tied in dryer sheets and hung on stakes. Now if I could only find a discount on bedazzles.

    You could make a lot of money if people paid for shitty humor

    I thought about those but don't have power to run them. You have outlets in your dove field?

    Add one of those old school revolving police car lights so it will look like the rednecks are shining a Qbeam.

    Everything I've considered has to run off a battery. I've thought about a stereo and perhaps flashing lights on a timer. Beasty Boys or some RunDMC with a lot of bass would either make them run or dance.

    Yea, I have power to irrigation and wells. Last year they almost ate it all. With the development expanding I am looking for temp help rather than fencing.

    The humor is free. You get what you pay for.

    Go with something in the 440-550 Nm wavelength range. They can see that range very well.

    If you can find it, get a 5 gallon bucket of the industrial bathroom smell good stuff. The kind that goes in the air spritzer every so many min, in a public restroom.

    It is the best thing in the scent department. Next would be Irish spring. I broke my wife food processor doing that. We had a huge bag of chapped up soap. My daughter sat on the tail gate and hooped out what looked like green confetti. The scent thing can be mixed in with watering go for it.

    It will work if it is over at your usual place. They are so thick out at the house we had to go with a fence.

    Which by the way you could do.

    3 wires.

    Out side fence has a strand 18" off the ground inside wire is 3' from out side wire and has 2 strands (1) at 12" and the (2) at 24"

    Add a solar electric fence box if you do not have AC.

    But you your case you could stick the used car sales man by the electric box and the deer may think it is a sadistic car sales man.

    I'm wondering what the current demands are for one of those and if a solar farm could be set up to run it.
    Yup, he's crazy...
