@gingerw and all...Ginger, I don't deal with wild deer invasions, but I have friends who do. I saw something just a couple of days ago online on the Garden Supplies site to deter deer. It's a packet you hang on a tree, possibly surrounding your garden area. It's supposed to deter deer. I also heard that human urine is a deterrent. Not sure if it works, but told it does. I know there must be something other than hunting deer and having deer cook-outs for the neighbors. They're wonderful wildlife, but for gracious sakes, don't destroy my roses. This isn't an unusual issue, so there must be something...Hope something works. Be blessed. Elizabeth
