Well, I hate to be serious while all others are having a giggle, but most 
deer do their damage, as do coyotes, at night.  Not much chance there will 
be any reflected light.  AND, I've found that coyotes don't care about 
flapping anything and deer become accustomed to things and quickly loose 
their fear!
