Hi Liz,

Last year, I had good luck spraying bugs with a mixture of 1/2 cup pickling
lime to a gallon of water. I am going to beat an egg and mix it in with the
lime water hoping that it will repel bugs and deer. I understand deer don't
like the smell of egg.

Thanks for the bag idea. I think I'll try that too. Our dog has helped a
lot with running the deer off, but she can't be everywhere. The
conservation guy said if we get permission to shoot the deer, we have to
leave them lay where they land. I'm sure I would drag them to a ditch
somewhere, but what a waste.
