Brian, deer do not like stinky soap. There's one here in the USA called Irish Spring. Just go down the aisle sniffing bars of soap until you find something exceptionally smelly. Cut chunks, wrapper and all, then place in mesh bag and fasten to a stake. Shove stake in ground so bagged smelly soap is not very conspicuous but is above most of the plant. Wrapper should be uppermost, cut surfaces downward to rain does not melt the soap. Don't have issues with pheasants in my garden but what about glittery strips twisting in a breeze, the way other birds are kept off home vegetable garden crops. Of course it gives the garden a funky appearance. Otherwise - do you want any venison recipes? Have some for pheasant too. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
