Re: The Scare Crow for deer

**E* Z* <e*@acmeplant.com>**

These didn't work at all for me.  Admittedly, I live with a very large  
deer population.  No, not in Manhattan, in Shohola, PA where they  
close school on the first day of deer hunting season because it's such  
a big deal.

I've tried several motion sensor operated deer deterrents: the scare  
crow, the ultra-sonic screamer...no luck with either.  Deer aren't  
stupid, especially when they're hungry and their lives depend on your  
garden plants.  They quickly learn that a squirt of water (or a high  
pitched noise) isn't going to hurt them and they continue to feed.   
Maybe our Pennsylvania deer are especially smart...and hungry.
