Could this be used to chase deer away? We dont want to kill...just want them to stop eating our trees and bushes.

Please don,t use this rifle on any animal. It has enough power to wound or kill.

I think there is a powder to put on plants that will keep deer away. We put up small fences around our trees and sprinkles them with red pepper or chili powder.

No. It can be as deadly as a .22 rifle at short range. Even if aimed in a non lethal part of the body it may puncture the skin. With only 3 pumps the pellet will bury in a 2x4. Consider an inexpensive BB gun similar to the old Red Ryder style or even a wrist rocket with marbles.

I'm going to say probably. Works great for deer, rabbits and small mammals. This year when I planted my blubs, which if you don't cover they get dug up, I sprayed my Deer Off in all these areas on the soil. NOTHING...came to dig them up. GREAT stuff.

I have 2 units in the yard and after a year I have not seen any deer in the yard. They seem to make a beeline around it. No other critters either.But birds stay around. Give it months to be effective. The animals need to be "trained" to stay away.

Sorry, I can't help you. Since the motion detector is ultrasonic, we can't hear it. Not sure if it is keeping the deer away or not. We are in the process of replacing the batteries this weekend and are hoping for the best. The deer have thus far out smarted just about everything we do to keep them away. Good luck.

I must assume that you aren't really really close to these animals! This gun will not harm them but it sure can piss 'em off. The gun is powerful enough to put out an eye however. If you are trying to run the animals off your property, have at it.

Skunks don't scare that easily; they have to feel threatened and even then they warn before they spray. So, my guess is that it could work hypothetically (if it works on other other animals--certainly it can work for deer) but I am guessing that since the motion detector panel that sets off the water is higher than a skunk (low to the ground) would generally be, it might not register the skunk's presence. You may want to consider a Scarecrow which can be set lower, or a solar flashing light. We have all three (including the Havahard Spray Away Elite II) and so far have had good luck with that combination (for deer at least, and maybe other night roaming creatures.)

I guess you could use a spreader - I just broadcasted it by hand. Doesn't take a lot...and the deer have been avoiding our gardens!!! YEAH!!

It doesn't drive them out. It kills them when they eat it. However, they die close to the bait if that is any help. We used them in our greenhouses and around the outside to keep them out of the seed crops.

with a longer bolt and broadhead tips u can probly bring down a deer with a clean shot from close range..but this is mainly for small game...squirrels and rabbits and whatnot

Seems to me that deer would move on rather than tangle their teeth in the Dewitt netting, which is much more substantial than the lightweight 1/2" mesh sold in most stores. Just guessing. You might try using a spray-on repellent in addition to the netting. Good luck!

It may not keep deer out because they can technically jump over, rabbits will not be able to get thru. I use it for chickens and to keep dogs out, have had not rabbit, deer, or any other animal get into the fenced area!

You're in luck. My ex-girlfriend is a deer biologist.I texted her and asked if an electric fence designed to keep dogs out of gardens would work against deer and she texted back that yes, it should work for deer.

I think the moles could chew it. It worked great tp protect my cypress trees from the deer. I left it on the trees from last year. From a distance you can't see it

Only if you are backing up toward them, it will detect deer, plus lions and tigers and bears oh my! If you see them, immediately take the car out of Reverse, put it in Drive and get away!

Wm, I would not recommend this for deer hunting. You can however, take smaller game with it.Best, Bruce

Can't answer since there are no coyotes in my area. But I found it to be effective on the deer and I usually have a herd of them grazing in the back of the property. But this has kept them out of my herb garden.

I guess if you beat it over the head with the airgun you might. I don't think it is powerful enough to kill anything larger than a rabbit (maybe) or a squirell. I guess you could shoot its eye out and then run over it.
