    Default Food plot protection?

    I read somewhere (i thought it was here) about a mix of something you can spray around your food plot that will keep the deer out until it grows up some. It was something simple but I can't remember what it was? Any help?

    I beleive it was 6 eggs to 1 gallon of water.
    Personally I use Deer Stopper from Plot Saver works for me.

    I remember the egg post, seems it was a half dozen eggs to a galon of water. If you try it let us know how well it works out.

    Take a look at spinning pin wheels and shiny wavy decorations. Place them and hang them around the plot. They keep birds and deer out until you remove them. The constant movement of these toys spooks them.
    Give it a shot, for a couple of bucks.

    6 eggs to one gallon of water. Mix well because apparently it will clog the spray tip, which I can well understand.

    My weatherby does the same but I am hoping to get a little growth out of my plot before I start "thinning" the herd. The food plot is in a dence part of our lease and I killed a nice 8 point off of it last year. It's just hard to get it up due to the deer keeping it mowed. The best I am hoping for is to let it get up good and be there on opening gun day. I'll let everybody know how it works out. thanks again
