I have tried everything against deer-dog, human urine, Irish Spring soap, human hair from barber shop, 8 ft high mesh deer fence (they jumped it!)--everything.  Only thing that worked is an electric fence baited with peanut butter.  It does not have to be high--the key is getting them to lick it  when it is on, and they will not be back.  And it is not expensive-it does not have to be strong, just hold up  the wires about 4 ft high.  It's the only thing that has worked for me.  Farm Bureau has a number of chargers--a small one for about $40 plus wire (about $18.00)  plus insulators should do it. You need to have signs to warn any kids (you can buy them) that the fence is electric.  That's just courtesy, and some places is code.  Hopefully the deer cannot read.  Jerry in southern Indiana
