I question fox, because as a hunter we use that for cover scent. Fox's usually put deer at ease, they are not a predator, and they are very shy like deer, so when a fox is around deer feel safer.

Im sorry I meant to say fox and coyote urine mixed. Fox keeps away rabbits and such smaller animals, and coyote urine deer run far from.

Also from hunting so much I know deer are used to being hunted by us so when they smell fabric softener or soap they tend to go the other way. I don't know if it will work but I know that in hunting if you wash your clothes with detergent and fabric softener then your going home empty handed. Maybe try dryer sheets hung around the garden, they are cheap enough to get a bunch. If that doesn't work then try some rat traps around the grow. Once they set one off a couple night in a row and get jumped they wont come back. If that doesn't work then bait them elsewhere far away from your grow with peanut butter or deer corn. Keep em full and they wont eat the weed maybe.

. Since then nothing except a couple random chipmonks, mice and moles for victims. Plants were fine though.

same here i cant really put up a fence i did find a crop spot yesterday its near a fence and is hard to get to im just worried about deer season cuz there's this one dick licker that hunts on our land and where i have my plant is near a deer trail that they use to go to a creek that's near it
the only reason why he hunts on our land is my step grandma leases part of it for cows and get this shit
she leases it for FREE that really pisses me the fuck off
so heres this fuck that uses our land and puts bulls in the field and on top of that he shoots my deer and puts trail cameras everywhere
so now when i water my plants i have to look for trail cams and shit like that

Do they have a store that sells those specially or something. I was thinking about starting an outdoor grow but worried about animals as well. Your idea sounds like the most legitimate way to get rid of them.

Easy young grass hopper.
Its your grandmas place. Unless your making the bank note she is free to do with as she pleases.
But it does suck.

how???
i mean hes a cool dude really friendly just as far as a grow op im limited
the one perfect place that gets sun all day and is covered by trees and heavy brush is his favorite hunting spot
the place i found will give me ticks every time i walk to it because there's a shit ton of 7 foot tall trees but is a bitch to get to

If you do it right and not wear a trail out to it no one will see.
I have walked people within a couple feet of a plant before as a test.
Its all about camouflage.

You will learn a lot by trial and error.
First you don't want it in a wide open space. Makes it easy to see.
You don't want it in the middle of a thicket. You have to cut a trail to maintain it.
Hunters spend more time looking down at trails and signs more than up.
Pay attention to where guys hunts and plant up hill.
Your best bet is plant where a thicket meets the open on the uphill side of south facing slope.
You want to plant at the edge of the thicket to where it will hide it but you can walk up without leaving a trail.
Plant horse weed, other grasses and weeds around it. Let vegetation grow with your plants.
Mine will have weeds, grass, thorns, honey suckle growing in it.

I'm terribly dissapointed I thought this was a thread for keeping Uncle Buck away.....but he's like oxygen the more you try to do without the more you find you gotta have even if he did make his fortune on the backs of lesser treadmill salesmen !

yeah theres about 3 acres were a logging company paid us to cut trees down
now its a bunch of thorns until the pine saplings grow up
and theres a old logging trail that is over grown
so if i can keep animals then im golden cuz no one goes down there it has real dusty so prints show up real good and theres no shoe prints there ever

Animals are not always bad. You can walk their trails.
If you plant on hill side you can bury a line down hill to your plant with watering ring. Water from 20-30 ft away an never have to touch them unless topping or pruning.
