| Landscaping: Hunting will not stop deer from eating shrubs. As long as attractive food sources like hostas and tulips are available and unprotected, the deer will consume them. To prevent damage to landscaping, homeowners can fence their property or choose deer-resistant plants. View a list of deer-resistant plants online, or just ask your local garden center. Also, deer repellants such as Deer Out have been highly effective. Crops: Hunting will not stop deer from eating crops. As with residential landscaping, as long as attractive food sources are available and unprotected, the deer will be attracted to the property and will consume the crops. New Jersey farmers can now take advantage of a NJ Department of Agriculture program that subsidizes deer fencing to protect crops. Also, deer repellant systems such as Plotsaver can be used. |
