How is this for scaring deer?

I must have very brave wildlife in my area because this thing scared the beegeezus out of me many times but had no impact on the geese or deer.

The deer are not deterred at all by the presence of the coyote. This may be because it no longer looks like a coyote having lost all of its paint after one season and most of the artificial fur in the tail has fallen out leaving the beast look like it is suffering from mange, hardly a scary sight.

The only thing it scared were the dogs & people. It is a conversation piece.

I forget exactly, I'm thinking it is up to as high as 45#-50#, maybe a little lower. And it's adjustable so , you can scale it down to whatever is comfortable for them. I've seen many pictures of several girls that have taken down a deer with it.

I haven't had to use it to scare a dog away yet but it depends how brave the dog is. Some dogs scare easily while others are dumb and possibly stone deaf. It is loud enough to scare them but it really depends on how smart or dumb the dog is.

It may not keep deer out because they can technically jump over, rabbits will not be able to get thru. I use it for chickens and to keep dogs out, have had not rabbit, deer, or any other animal get into the fenced area!

It not too strong for dogs. I used it to protect deer from vegetable garden

No, I know it doesn't work well. A better deer repellant is to pee in a bottle and leave it in the sun. Then spray or sprinkle it on the leaves and around the plant. That will keep deer away better than this product. Don't use too much it may burn the leaves. Remember to reapply after rain.

I've had the Nite-Guard for about 14 months now and it's still working great. It really does scare the critters a way.I consider it a good investment.

I'm not sure. I tried using it only for deer, which didn't work. I switched to Deer Stopper that resolved the problem. I also used human hair and garlic, to repel the animals. It worked!!!

with a longer bolt and broadhead tips u can probly bring down a deer with a clean shot from close range..but this is mainly for small game...squirrels and rabbits and whatnot

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own pets This works great Crank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

I have my doubts it would work well on a bear even. It barely stopped an aggressive deer at 12 ft when I used it. But if it does work on bears it would work on a lion in my opinion and all I'm giving is an opinion. From my experience with this product they vastly overstate the range. Instead of 30ft I'd put the effective range at no more that 12-15 ft. But the fact is it's far better than having nothing. However there might be things that would work better but I don't have the experience to know what they are.

Agree with the other comments. I have never hit a deer with the guard but it seems pretty tough. Depending on the velocity of the collision you might still have some damage but probably not to the point where it would disable your vehicle. One thing is for sure: the plastic grill of my old Ford didn't do much to prevent the radiator from being punched full of holes when I hit a deer with it!

I have shot through mesh and found it to cause some shots to be off substantially at 20 yards. I suggest cutting a small hanging flap out of the mesh in the middle area of areas in the blind where you have viable shooting lanes then tape it up when hunting. If the taped up flap is 3x3 inches the deer will not see your movement as long as you are wearing dark clothing and moving slow. TAKE PRACTICE SHOTS FIRST ON A TARGET TO WORK OUT YOUR STEPS QUIETLY. This solves the issue and you can be sure of the shot. The ramcats are awesome. Seven deer and counting this season. Six of them were taken with ramcats and my Mathews bow.

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

With the flash off you won't see much at all. But believe me the flash doesn't scare animals very much. Over our salt lick we placed 3 cameras in different locations to get different views of the deer and better see which direction and which trails they use. We had 3 cameras flashing and we had various deer that would stay over a half hour. The flash really doesn't bother them like some people seem to think it does.

It doesn't work period. NOTHING is afraid of it. Deer and birds eat my entire garden while it makes its worthless noise.I just threw it away in my garbage after 6 months of NOTHING.Send me the shipping, I'll dig mine out of the garbage and send it to you.

i thought it was noisy when it's really still out ,but when it's windy it's not noticeable. it of course has a fan in it so it's gonna have some noise to it. ( i'm sending mine back) got busted a few time while bowhunting thinking it would do the job on downwind deer ....hard to beat a deers nose.
