Probably not on such a popular channel. Let me know if you are ever interested in raccoon though...

Fishing line between the trees at waist level.

Deers cant see it. They run into it - they dont like it - they go other places.

might have to invest in those little round chicken wire cages to save the trees. Maybe paint ball gun might run 'em off, but you'd have to be on-guard 24-7

Sentry paintball gun?

Probably work! A friend of mine in OK had a problem with herons eating the fish in his little backyard pond. He put up some poles and strung a grid of fishing line over the pond, blew their minds. Said it freaked 'em right out, problem solved!

Cottonwood trees MMMMMMMM white gold... HAVC guys love em too make lots of money cleaning coils cause of them trees

My HVAC system consists of two wood stoves and windows. I planted these mainly as fuel trees; they grow fast and once they hit 10-12" in diameter, I cut them and put aside for firewood. I got the altitude modified version from CSU/4-H.

I have an endless supply of loose jagged rock from 3" to 3ft. My son and I covered the ground around the trees in loose jagged rock. I drove in 4ft stakes on the big trees and wrapped them in twine so they would have to push through to get to the tree. I caged the small trees. If the deer go through all that and eat leaves covered in repellent, there isn't much else I can do.

I guess I could go with razor wire next...

I really need to replant my fire mitigation zone with Aspen...I took out approximately 150 fir and pine trees the last two years. The cottonwood are in a drainage area fed by runoff going down to the lower lot.
