Deer (many) are regular visitors around my home and neighbourhood  
throughout the day.

Some (most) of my neighbours don't take too kindly to these visitors who  
have a fondness for munching on the shrubs, flowers and vegetables that  
must look like a smorgasbord to these and other critters.

One of my neighbours, an English couple who are avid gardeners, seem to  
have a great deal of success at discouraging deer by simply putting up  
little pieces of white fabric, no bigger than a bow-tie, near vegetation  
that they want to protect from deer.

The explanation is that the deer (White Tails) see the white fabric as an  
alarm signal and stay away.

I have no idea what Mule deer's "alarm signal" may be.
