The Deer respond best to electrocution, I am not familiar with the device.
Deer love people and all types of gadgets they become used to.
The over population of deer in many parts of the country are have many
negative effects on forest ecology. In our small island of forest they have
already caused a few plant extensions the one plant I miss the most is Orchis
spectabilis. ( they changed all the names and call it Galearis spectabilis
now-but just can't remember the new name) When I was a freshman in collage I
made a survey of the hundred acres of oak woods we have along my parents
house. I counted over 300 plants of the above Orchid with about half of them
blooming.
In the late 80's and early 90's the deer and woodchuck populations shot up
and by 1995 All the orchids were gone and I have not seem one since.
