These pictures were taken early this morning.

It's clear she got spooked by one mechanical deer deterrent and then another in the opposite direction.

Photographic proof that a mechanical contraption like these deer deterrents can be quite effective at making these deer feel like they crashed the wrong party.

We continue to expand our chicken pasture moat perimeter each day we find time to plug away at it.

The green outline represents our future plans.

We've been using 5 feet high regular chicken fence material. It comes in 50 foot rolls and our local independent hardware store sells it for just under 18 dollars per roll.

One trick to staying happy during a series of deer attacks is to guard the most vulnerable plants with a protective barrier.

We've had good luck this year using green plastic fence material bunched up in a dome like shape and weighed down with either a metal fence post or pieces of rebar.

I got a good electrical power tip from a reader named Kelly that I thought was worth sharing here.

Kelly has discovered that most thrift stores have cheap wall warts that are looking for a good home.

We don't have many thrift stores in my region, but when I lived up north I recall huge second hand stores that would usually sell a power transformer/wall wart in the 1 to 2 dollar range, which can be a 15 or 20 dollar savings for any mechanical deer deterrent projects you may have in the future.

Thank you for the feedback Kelly.
