bear in your hot tub?
the trick is to know someone who works in a zoo, and get lion dung and lion urine and spread it around your garden. it will scare the deer away, and the cougars and bears will realize they are in the territory of a bigger animal, and move away. i t think you might have to fake some claw scratches 10 or 15 feet up a tree, with your ice axe too.
