I used to have deer problems back in my Humboldt daze, found that monofilament fishing line coiled around the perimeter of the plants would keep them away.
Iβm up in Old Station now, almost 100 degrees at 4500 ft! Heard the dog barking and she had found a 2 1/2 foot 8 button rattlesnake next to the bbq shed. She was wary enough to know not to get close. I normally donβt kill them, but it was too close to the house, and my mom is 90 years old. So I got out the 22 with snake shot! Took a drive into the hills, saw 2 bucks, still in velvet and a ton of big bear tracks!
