you don't spray the liquid fence on the plant, you spray around the perimeter of your stash. I would never smoke it if it was applied on them. running wire, netting,etc, leads to suspicion and might be detected by trespassers. imo!

Agreed it disattracts the deer by scent such as a territorial?spelling? warning. If you spray it on your plant most likely it will die or end up poisonous polyploid deformed mutant
Absolutely correct. I have a shelf full of pricey repellents, including Liquid Fence and Deer Off, and at the end of summer when conditions get real dry with little food deer will eat anything that's green regardless of what's sprayed right on it much less on the ground.
I use a fencing that has a mesh for the first 18" that keeps rabbits out and then the mesh goes bigger to keep deer out. 6' for Blacktails, 8' for Whitetails is the rule.
You can see my fencing in back of my plants in the image.

hmmmmm..... at the end of summer,deer have nothing to eat??? maybe in alaska, but where I'm from, things don't die out or dry up until early november, long after I harvest. apparently you have a spot that noboby goes around in order to put up a noticable fence. good luck!

Deer are wonderful creatures... thats too bad about ur crop tho. I had a scare like urs last week damn bugs where going to town on plants. Luckily I hit them with some Organocide and I will again for the next few weeks almost untill harvest!
Fishing line will help keep them away from ur crop. spaced out at about 2ft, 3ft, 4 ft. Not to far away bc they can jump like black men. Hope you can fight em off!

you're right about fishing line! ps..... white men (can't) jump! lol!
I live in rural southern Oregon, where everything but evergreens, the leaves on deciduous trees and poison oak turns yellow and dies by late July from lack of rain. Our watered lawn has a dozen deer munching away at it most every day and anything green is fair game for their appetites.

I see! I'm in N.E. Ohio, and things stay pretty lush here until the first frost, (late Oct.-early Nov. the liquid fence does work as I have deer tracks all over except where I spray.... about 6-8' from my plants. It's a little pricey and guaranteed, so I use a bottle a year and never had a deer problem. by the way, your picture.... is that in your back yard? looks nice !

i live in northern MI and the first frost usually hits late October/very early November. leaving plants out till November up here is a risky gamble, with a very devastating outcome that I've seen some of my friends go through. Although you don't want to harvest pre-maturely
Thanks, I guess you could say its in my yard as I have some acreage, one of this year's crop at 90-days from seed germination. One of the advantages of being on a well is the ability to run controlled drip irrigation almost anywhere.

i just wanted to add this for the guy who started this thread and says its too windy for hair. put a couple metal stakes in the ground tie a tin pie dish that you get at the grocery store for 62 cents. The wind will blow it around and itll make noise deer wont come close
