Yes, Donna, Buck works just fine ... been a given nickname for over 20 years now, so I suppose I should get used to it.

The VERY best deer repellent I have found is also known as "Bouncing Betty." It's a explosive that is catipulted vertically less than a meter into the air prior to detonation and sends off tens of thousands of fragmented shards. While highly effective on deer and teenagers, it is really somewhat of a waste when it comes to the smaller creatures and vermin. A bench mounted .20 cal. RWS Dianna outfitted with a competition scope and muzzle break does a great job with them ... although, you really want to watch out for stray shots puncturing your liner. The muzzle break allows each shot to exit the barrel at an impressive 1,350 feet per second with hardly a noticible "phuff" of noise from the rifle itself. This keeps the neighbors blissfully, albeit ignorantly, unaware.

We have tried various incindiary devices, but it always seems like the bunnies instantly head for cover under the house or, worse still, under the neighbor's house as soon as it realizes it's fur and flesh are aflame. While it is mildly entertaining to watch, it is still more than a little unsettling to have to come up with new stories to ward off investigations from the fire chief.

Perhaps you could send me a link to this fully guaranteed product! I am certain my wife will love you forever if you could dissuade me from these more Neanderthallic, yet highly satisfying, methods I have heretofore adopted.

And, of course, there's the old school option ...
