[Apple-Crop] Deer Damage

[Pat Curran]

A few years ago I experienced a significant amount of deer damage on new plantings & requested a depravation permit from the Illinois DNR.  They suggested a product called Plant Skid, & said it had worked well  in other locations.  I did so, and it definitely helped the situation.  It also works well on vegetable plots when sprayed around the perimeter.  The drawback is that it must be resprayed after rain washes it off.  

Having said that, I concur with others on this list. . . the best deterrent is lead.
