StinkMaster update and official permission to kill
The deer came back the night
I installed the StinkMaster
smelly sprinkler system,
but they entered at a different spot, which might indicate a behavior
of avoidance to the smell zone.
One obvious problem is the soapy
water clogging up the sprinkler head. I tried switching to a hand
held shower unit and it still clogged, but at a slower rate.
We got a call from the game
warden yesterday and he gave us a 10 day kill permit. I'll save those
details for tomorrow's post.

The calcium ions in water react with soap to form a precipitate that is probably clogging up your sprayer.
It is probably better to just use a perfume solution if you want to continue this experiment.
But you might just end up with perfumed deer nibbling on your vegetables.
