Yes, Ed.  I sent that to you back channel because 
the list does not support movies, so the other 
Rhodies have not had the pleasure of seeing an 
Attack Squirrel at work.  Copies are available to 
the curious directly on request.

But my primary method of deterrance is still 
nature's own marker, collected out of public view, 
and applied regularly around the azaleas.  As they 
are acid-loving and can use a shot of nitrate, it 
fulfils the sailors dictum - "everything must have 
more than one use."  

You can think of it as multi-functional recycling.

I hope that I have not offended anyone in 
describing this simple, cheap, and (at least for 
me) very effective method of discouraging deer.
