What a shame -- I have nothing but shade around here and they love to
eat when I'm SLEEPING, the SOB's. Also, found out this year they love
Yews, but not Junipers?

Maybe I can just rig up something with auto on lighting and some audio
to scare them -- electronics is my business.


I use netting. Electric fences will work. They can easily jump a 6 foot
fence when they have to. Smaller fences will deter them but not stop
them. Not much deer won't eat but when they're eating evergreens they're
starving.
