Hi CatNSnow, Try hanging down some plastic orange streamers. If there is a wind frequently blowing in your area, those things tend to spook deer when they move in the wind. We saw that to be true at a local apple orchard. New trees treated with BioVam were flagged and the deer left the flagged trees alone. They ate the untreated trees that were not flagged. If it worked on deer here, then it probably will work there too. It's worth a try. I don't know if anyone has ever tried that before. The streamer tape was hanging down from the branches. All the trees that didn't have streamer tape hanging down got really chewed up by the deer. We only put one streamer tape per treated tree. Maybe 3 or 4 pieces of streamer tape (the orange marker plastic type tape) flapping in the breeze will work even better. If you try this and it works, I'd like to know.
