I've also have tried many ways to keep the critters away and the only thing that has worked was a fence.

Same here. I have a shelf full of very pricey 'guaranteed' repellents, all worked well until it gets dry and the feed disappears. I have my garden surrounded by 6' deer and rabbit fencing (we only have blacktail), electrified to keep the two and four-legged critters out. Even dogs eventually have to sleep but that fence and the electricity is 24/7.

If my public electricity goes out I have a 15K propane powered generator with its own board wired into the house board that automatically powers the lower floor of the house including the well pump and that fence. If that fails close to harvest time I'll be camping out in the garden with a friend, both of us heavily armed.

Fill milk jugs full of your piss and spread em a couple feet away from your plant in a big circle. I've never thought of this but how about blood from packadged meet and stuff? Maby scare the deer off. Get a gun, or dig a big ass trench around your garden lol

i pissed all around my plants,bas well as my dog,it drew the deer in and kept the wolves and cougars out.so while they felt safe in my piss haven they would chow down when the urge hit them.nothing keeps deer out but a fence.if you can get some good gougar piss that is not fake you have a chance.

A 30.06 rifle and a 12 Gauge shotgun should keep deer and rabbits away like the charm. just make sure you are there to shoot them.

Garlic and Chilli pepper barier..... piss shit, the works dude......puke especially and other putrid smelling nasty crap... if its too much for you, the deer will hate it........ From the expert:

sharpened stakes buried in the ground close to main stalks and pointed out at all angles covered in the Garlic chilli pepper barier, reapply every visit. The pointed tips keep them from getting too close to the main stalk area of the plant, and the garlic/chilli pepper barier along with your and other animals (especially bear and other preditors) urine and feces and hopefully a 5 gal. bucket full of PUKE from a kegger party or something, ;) should keep them out of the garen area..... spread the puke out in a perimeter a decent distance from the plants...... Happy puking :D

wouldnt those sharpened spikes barried in the ground have the potential to hurt children,no one should protect their plants with anything that can hurt an innocent child or curious hiker.when i hear some of the things people rig up to protect their plants it makes me sick.im not saying thats what your spikes are i have no idea what your discribeing.

uhhhh I don't think any responsible parent would let their small children get out of site in an area like that which is ideal for a guerilla grow, or that any responsible guerilla grower would put their grow op in a place small children can get to in the first place. A hiker would have to be pretty stupid to impale themselves on the stakes, which are supposed to come up to waist height, and actually provide extra support for the weight load the branches are going to be under during full flower. It would be expected when doing something like this that the plants would be in proportion to the stakes, so if a hiker wanted to take a bud suppose, all they would need to do is reach out and pick........ pretty effective, simple, and safe.

That's bordering on acute paranoia with no guarantee (or knowledge of how deer feed when they're starving. Go for the fence.

dude...... I have deer in my backyard almost everyday....... I've lived in the mountains almost all my life. There is a guierilla grow going on on the other side of the mountain that has nothing to do with me and they use similar deer repellents....... deer aren't starving anywhere, there is food everywhere for them..... all over the country..... I live with this stuff on a daily basis. I have dogs, so deer leave plants alone, :D ..... fences do draw attention...... puke doesn't (though wild pigs are an altogether different issue! ).....

i grew up in the bush,we walked for 30 miles every way,a lot of kids can truck out in the bush,but like i said i dont understand what your set up looks like but i can tell you your deer may not like puke but the deer in the wilds of canada will eat it for stew.

cant speak for your deer only ours.but the more puke,the more sent the more what ever draws everything their,you would have a weasel jamboree,and mink fest,and bears wadling through your plants in search of human left overs.you might as well put beaver Castor on the trees and bring all the cat family their as well.non of the things you mentioned work here only a fence.sometimes your lucky they don't touch it,but it is not based on repellents its based on hunger or well fed.no grain fields were i go.but alot of fish guts from the comercial fishermen on the lakes.
 
anyone have any suggestions on what to use to deter deer and jackrabbits? I've read about so many different things, I don't know what would work the best. I've read that people make egg shakes and spray that on there plants, also read soap shavings around your area keep them away, but what's the best method?
best methods for outdoors...

put a pile of kitty liter about 2 feet away from each plant, this will make other animals think its a territory owned by another animal which will help to keep animals away from ur garden of ganj!

walk about 3 feet away from ur plants and piss around them, human urine acts as a wonderful animal reppelent. once again it makes other animals think the territory is already taken over by another creature.

3rd & final... ur best bet! give ur plants about 3 inches of space from all sides & put chicken wire around them or buy silk fence & cover ur plants with it so no animals can eat the plants leaves or buds!

good luck homie!
