 This huge deer uses my yard for sleeping every night. He is big and scary and he drops ticks and is working his way though all my veggies. Last night I scared him off by shining a light on him. Do you think he will come back to sleep now that I have scared him off?

How do I keep deer out of my vegetable garden?

Hopeful Corn Grower asked:

I like to grow sweet corn and other things that deer love to devour. Is there anything that I can plant or leave out to discourage the deer.
I don’t want to kill them. Would it help to put some extra corn in a feeder and feed them away from the garden. Are there some deer resistant vegetables and some deer repelling plants I can plant around my corn?
