(out of lurkdom)
does anyone here think that human urine is a deterrent to deer?
we have a lot of deer around here, and i would like to start planting some
flowering bushes, but not for their breakfast!

I wouldn't count on it. The urine-deterrant issue is about using
urine from predators - wolves, cougars, etc. The deer and
similar "free-restaurant" patrons will get scared that there is
an animal in the vicinity who views them the same way. But I
doubt that they have learned (experience or genetic) about
humans.
