A. Deer are usually afraid of movement. You might try putting up some wind chimes or whirligigs. There are also some devices available that emit a sound that they can hear but humans can't that will keep them away. Try some of the on line outfitters ( www.basspro.com ) or the like to find something. You might also ask your local cooperative extension agent or humane shelter for some ideas.

What is the quickest way to gut a domestic deer?
Q. I was driving home last night down the side roads because the traffic was at a stand still. I got slightly lost because it was dark and I ended up in some national park type setting and hit a deer. I didn't want to get caught so I tied it to the roof of my citroen bx car - white 1.58 enginer - and drove home. It sure was a mess to clean up but I eventually hosed most of the guts and brain mass off of the screen. However after this I am now left with a deer in my garage. I have hung it up to the main support to drain the blood but now Im pondering what's the best to get the meat off of the carcass and then who to give it too? Has anyone got any good suggestions of what to do with a ton of deer? without arousing susipicion? I thought… [cont.]

A. Sounds like you have started well, You will need the right tools...i.e a sharp knife, Leave the animal hanging to begin and slice down the undercarriage, remove any entrails... now slice into the lower epidermis, near to the fat and remove the skin... you could make a good rug out of this? Now i would suggest you look up cuts of meat, if you have Hugh Fernley Whittingstall book this would be helpful, as it has all the photos...failing this I would suggest the local butcher wold do it for you...and offer him some of the produce...

A. You can get hair from your local beauty shop or barber. I know it sounds weird but it works. The deer picks up the human smell & won't come near. I live in rural Oklahoma & have deer come thru all year & they never touch my flowers or vegetable garden. Just spread the hair through out you garden. or you can use a spray of 1 well beaten egg, 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce in 1 gal water. That also works for rabbits. Can also be painted on tree bark or landscaping timbers.
