I'm curious about this as well. I've been looking at solar electric fence options but I'm not terribly convinced having watched deer jump fences. One of the remote options I have is a friends bottom land field next to a creek and a large pond on their property that the wildlife stripped last year. It sounded perfect with the pond for irrigation right there until he mentioned that he got nothing out of what he planted there last year.

I was going to call the owner of a large you-pick berries/corn/pumkin operation not far from here. This fall when we were out there for a cub scout activity I was feeling him out about asking for hunting permission and he told me that he had some spray that kept the deer away pretty well, but of course I've forgotten what he said it was now. If I find out I'll let you know what it was.
