Planted 10 acres of beautiful hay last fall. Looks great, and the deer tell me it tastes great. I have 4-10 of them in there pulling it out and trampling it 24/7. Hunting season isn't until Sept. but I am tempted.
Anyone know any other methods of keeping these beasts out of there?

In Pa there is a red tag area designation that allows you to let people shoot so many per acre.
I think you are allowed to shoot them as long as you phone them in for pickup. I do however think that farming has to be your livelyhood to be allowed to shoot them. Don't waste your time with the Game Commission.They are jerks and once they know you have a problem they will be watching your property closely and it won't be to help you. They rate right up there with politicians in my mind. They know nothing and talk a lot. We got 100 bushels of corn out of 5 acres this past fall. Pretty good yeild ? I do think the deer tasted better last year though.

If you have access to it liquid hog manure works, just don't put it on right before you mow.

In Michigan, you can get a block permit that allows you to basically clear out your property. You have to got to the DNR or DEQ and prove damages. Your exstension agent should be able to tell you more. My neighbor a few years ago took 200 deer out on 1 section. Easy.

If you are going to take the shot you most certainly ought to kill it. Wounding it so it crawls off and dies on some one else's property would simply attract more scrutiny as well as being an ill thought out and callous plan. You must be some sort of arm chair farmer.

Can't you mount a couple of those plastic ultrasonic deer scaring horns you can order from JC Whitney on the front of your tractor? Yeah, that'll work:}

Short of "doing what has to be done" and getting away with it, if this field is near to the house I would suggest getting a dog with a temperment that wouldn"t take kindly to intruders in what it considers it"s territory. If it doesn"t eliminate it altogether it will greatly reduce it.

Check with local game warden. In Kansas its legal to shoot them year around if they are causing crop damage - ON YOUR LAND. You just can't take the meat or antlers.

If you are in Pa good luck! These deer are monsters. Electric fence don't even help our garden. We tried the urine, the hair, and the deer stop you can buy some where (witch you have to watch with the crop being hay the other animals might not like the hay either) Once deer become accustomed to something they ain't scared no more. (night vision goggels and a crossbow come to mind and be hungry for lots of venison) If the 7-
10 were to leave hunted off or what ever their will be more! That is just their way of life. They need food also. I had 7 ac of soybeans out the deer wiped them out and I lost my rear in $$$$$$. Just check with the game commission and expect a stupid reply!

Save your urine and spread it liberally around the feil in question. Or just allow hunters on your property to control the overall population. You may need to talk to your neighbors to be able to effectivly put enough hunters in the woods to make a noticible impact. The other option is to contact your nearest DNR (department of natural recources) game warden and look into a crop damage permit. Good luck

Call your local game warden and tell him what's
happening to your crop. He may relocate some of the deer or may give you permission to reduce the number. I would get it writing too. Hal

Yep! Its sort of like I figured. You can't hunt them except in fall, Just sit back and watch until then.
I plan to get my meat out of that hay one way or another. It will either be in lamb or in venison.

I think I have it bad. But there are guys around here that have 30 - 50 in their fields. Game commissions say they'll increase the hunt (By 10%)
Big help that is.

Here in Md I think the state will reimburse you for lost crops to deer. They will relocate them too. My late father-in-law ate his share of those deer that were eating his shucked corn piles. I have one his deer head's that's mounted
that he killed in 1938. Hal

I thinned em out around here a few years back with my 225 (73 Buick Electra, that is.) Got two in one week, and another a couple of weeks later. Ended up with a cracked headlight trim. I'd hate to try it again with the junk I'm driving now days.
