Deers keep on eating my plants

I have a little garden, and deer repeatedly raid it.

Any idea on how to shoo them away? I'm going to build a fence over part of it, but it won't cover the entire area, as they also nibble on shrubs I have around the property.

One thing I'm going to try are those little solar-powered lights that you stake in the ground and which turn on at night. Think that'll work?

I'd like to figure out something that doesn't require me to reapply it every few weeks.
 
Brainhulk has some mountain lions he wants to get rid of. You could probably buy a couple cheap. Lights won't do anything. Dogs might. You could also make a big net enclosure for everything. Make it big enough to cover your property, and it'll also prevent standard drone surveillance. You'll have to figure out something else for IR imaging though.
 
You need to mark your territory. I recommend filtering Old English 800 malt through your gastrointestinal system first.

Defeating IR is easy peazee. Set everything on fire and keep it burning.

The most surefire way would be to infiltrate their group. First, douse yourself in deer urine. After a fierce battle and/or raping they will accept you into their group. Then after some time you can usurp their leader. Tell them the plants they were eating have been poisoned and killed the leader. Then after some more fighting and/or raping lead them on a journey across the forest to a new poison-less feeding ground at your neighbors house.

60% of the time, this works every time.

I wonder if the scarecrow can distinguish between a human and a deer.

I do have a bow and arrow. I might try just shooting the buggers like that. Or maybe let my cat out and patrol the area.

Lights won't do anything? Darn. The deer only come at night, so I'd think that light has something to do with it...

Deer are, by nature, most active at night. Deer can also jump some damn tall fences, so that is no guarantee. But, marking your property with predator urine or shooting a few deer will probably help. If I had the spare time to hunt them I would just do that. Even if another one takes their place a few dozen pounds of venison will make your nibbled plants more palatable.
 
Something that induces pain and fear but not injury. e.g. hiding-out with night vision goggles and a good paintball gun could produce results
