Deer repellent needed
#15
This probably won't help because you can't spray it over the fence but I keep deer away from my young fruit trees by putting a dryer sheet like Bounce on a stake right at the base. It works.

I got a similar problem myself. Was actually going to see about doing the predator urine but don't want something to spook all the deer away from the spot.
Might try the hair clippings as a friend of mine does that and will be easy to get.

Best repellent, is a dead deer, or remains after butchering. I have learned the hard way, as I accidently dumped remains after butchering of a deer near a bedding area. At the time, I didn't realize it was the central bedding area, but looking back, the remains really cut off all action. The deer totally changed thier routes.

I would not run the risk of screwing up your area by messing with a stand that is 5 foot from the property line. Besides you have to cross the property line to put your repellent down - that may cause problems since you were told not to go over there. If that gets back to the land owner of the parcels you hunt he may get pissed off and throw you out.
That stand is on a different property. If the landowner of that parcel wants it down, he'll take it down. You are acting on behalf of people who have trusted in you to act responsibly on their land and to respect the rights of adjacent property owners. Spreading repellents or anything else on someone elses land will do more harm than good.
