I think I will try the wire.

Al said when the deer ripped out his fence, it ripped out the
transformer too!

The deer more likely died an even longer, slower death by strangulation
or worse, being unable to untangle itself from the wire wrapped around
it and dragging behind it. :-P

I've heard of some very bad experiences with hotwires... ;-)
Deer are SO stupid!

I s'pose two very low to the ground hotwires might be safe, but
sometimes the sting of a hotwire at a higher level seem to panic a deer
and they get all tangled up in it and run off with your entire fence!

A big fence is the only way. If you want to try pepper you can get
ground
dried Habanero peppers from http://www.redsavina.com/ . I would be
concerned that the pepper would carry over to the vegetable
themselves. I
have tried most everything and have yet to find anything that will
always
work except the fence. Take that back, I haven't tried the motion
detector
water sprinklers nor the electric fence. Good luck.

I want to start a vegetable garden but I live in deer country near
Dripping Springs. I read in the archives that homemade pepper
sprays
work well to repel deer. I also know they don't like rosemary and
other fragrant shrubs. Any opinions on how well it would work to
hedge
the entire garden with rosemary and other large shrubs?

thanks,
