LIVE that is a good idea, just put the dog somewhere near the trees you don' t want bambi going into. I' ve also heard of going to the barber and getting hair cuttings then drop them in the area. You also could go to a local farm store and ask what they have as far as deer repellent, there are a few different types out there. I' m sure there are some more ideas out there that will get rid of them without killing them(if that' s what you want). Just ask around
