So ive been reading up on how to keep animals out of a plot and all I find is stuff on deer. I live in a mountain town in Colorado and we have elk up here, and A LOT of them. The elk we have up here are so used to humans, they're in your backyard, crossing the road, and dont even mind you if you try to scare them off. I dont think pee and some hair would keep them off my plants. Any thing else that might work? Ive heard of spraying your plants with eggs, vinegar and water or something, might that work?
Research at Colorado State University determined that high concentrations of Hot Sauce Animal Repellent, Deer Away, coyote urine, and a solution of 1 part fresh chicken eggs mixed with 4 parts water are some of the most effective repellents.
