[CHICKENS-101] deer in my garden for chickens

 

Yesterday I chased 3 deer out of the garden 3 different times during day light. Came home and they were back.  They don't move, won't leave, just stand and watch me. When I started toward them walking, they stood their ground. I had to chase them growling to get them to leave. They came back, had to chase them out again growling.
Last night they were back. Chased them 2 more times with the truck, went back and there they were sitting in the grass under my cherry tree waiting for me to leave. I tried to run them over and almost made it to the one, I am so tired of them.  Went back after husking a good 60+ jumbo ears of sweet corn, and there they were again. Chased them again with the truck, drove my truck right across the back of the garden then back around down the pasture right on their tails.  
These deer eat the weeds we left around our garden plants searching for the garden plants. I am going to talk my husband into getting an electrical net or fence and put the thing on high. Hair, urines, sweaty shirts, bright objects hanging, ET...nothing works.  These deer are too used to people.
I will be so glad for a rainy day so I can finish moving what they haven't killed to another chicken pen.
Any one else have over tame deer?
