So, here's a little trick/tactic I've used in the past that seemed to work like a charm albeit not for an entire growing season. Take your deer decoy or 3D deer target and put it in your garden. As we know, deer are territorial and the sight of another deer already in your garden should dissuade them--at least for a while. I used a bedded doe decoy with great success. I would move the deke every week or so.

MO Marine - That may be generally true about Labs and vegetables, but it's not always the case - we have an 11-year-old Lab who absolutely loves veggies. Carrots, cabbage, corn, beets; you name it, she loves it. We used to let her into the garden at night to run off the coons that were raiding the sweet corn, until we discovered that she was doing more damage than the coons!

We used to play a radio loud with ROCK MUSIC in the garden to keep out coons and deer. A 5 gallon bucket on it's side with a radio in it kept the radio dry in the rain. Today, I suppose RAP Music might work even better. Classical music didn't work as well. Today my dogs seem to work the best. I have invisible fence that only allows them to the garden's edge because they love eating corn and melons.
