(insert sarcastic tone here; apparently deer haven&#8217;t read this list of plants)  Anyway, this seems to really help as deer don&#8217;t like funny noises in the middle of the night and HATE to be stared at by cougars.  (mountain lions, not middle-aged ladies)   I&#8217;m still working on this project, but having trouble getting the mp3 breakout board to play the awesome sample of a ling roaring.  (my wife heard it and says I have to insert a voice-over in the mp3, so I don&#8217;t give people heart attacks as they walk up the driveway)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m duplicating this very thing for the chicken coop and will install with some powered computer speakers, a strobe and probably some misters with pepper spray in case the raccoons or foxes want to stick around.
