- My father lives backed up to some woods and has seen many bushes eaten
- to the nubbins by deer. He has tried dried blood and soap shavings, two
- recommended methods, but has had no success. I assume he just sprinkled
- these around the bushes, which are up against the house. There is
- supposed to be a certain brand of soap to use, but he couldn't remember
- which one. As food becomes scarcer, they get bolder and will routinely
- feed on his bushes even after being scared away.
- We'd really like to know of any methods which have succeeded!
