Re: rabbits & deer

Kitty, we have learned through years of experience that there
are numerous things that will deter the deer for a couple of 
weeks, but it is essential to keep changing the mix.  We have
used just about everything from human urine to eggs and pepper
sauce.  Nothing works for very long. Just plain dishwasher soap
works for a while, and some people swear by cakes of Irish Spring
soap, but that looks pretty tacky with cakes of soap hanging all
around, and even that doesn't work  for long.  The deer will poke
their noses between the bars of soap.  We have had most 
success in small enclosed places with fishline as I described
recently to someone.

Auralie,
Where I get my hair cut, they just wet it down, they don't wash it.  Maybe
before asking a salon for hair one might ask about washing too.  As to the
deer getting used to it, well, from all  I've heard, they get used to just
about everything.  So maybe dirty hair could be one component of a rotation
of techniques.
