Default What's eating my corn? And how do I stop it?

I'm growing sweet corn in containers in a garden area just in front of
my house. I'm doing a batch of about 10 containers every two weeks and
the first batch is almost ready - or was almost ready. Something at
night has chewed into most of the mature ears. I suspect deer but
could it be racoons. The dogs sleeping inside the house have not been
barking so they haven't noticed. Will fox or wolf urine or something
dissuade these nocturnal maurauders? It would take a lot of chicken
wire to corral about 60 containers, and the HOA might complain if the
yard looks like a military complex.
