A friend of mine is being troubled by deer eating the shrubbery around
his property.  A scarecrow has failed to keep them away. Throwing stones
or running at them to scare them away only gets them to move out of range.
He's not the hunting type, so he doesn't want to do away with them, he 
just wants them to stay clear of his property.

Does anyone know of any pest control product or method that would keep
deer away from your property?

I understand that there is an ultrasonic whistler that you can attach to
your car, but doesn't this only get their attention when your at a greater
distance from them while driving to give them a greater opportunity to stay
clear of your car?

I understand that there is a product which is supposed to keep rodents away,
which I think works using ultrasonics as well.

Does anyone know if ultrasonic stimulus is effective as a deterrant on deer?
If so,  what frequencies are effective?

It has been suggested to me that the scent of a predator would do the trick,
like bear or wolf, etc.  Also, a friend tells me that scent of human definately
works, if you collect some human hair cuttings (barber or beautician sweepings)
and hang out some stockings filled with the cuttings on the perimeter of the
land in question.

I would greatly appreciate any response from the net community on any deer
deterent products or methods.

Thanks.
