The deer sure are hungry this time of year! I don't spray but this past year put up some of the lighter deer fencing and the darn critters just pushed their way through a 50 foot section of it and ate all the buds on the blueberries. I think the spray is worth a shot since the deer are already on their way to eating everything they can reach and I don't think it would hurt to start now.

Ok, I've got a gallon brewing. I strained it through a cloth, rather lengthy procedure,
I hope it will help not clogging the sprayer, just got one of those at Lowes.

As soon as it stinks I'm out there. This weekend's supposed to be nice.

I spray throughout the winter...mostly the vibirnums in the back, where there isn't as much activity. I had gotten a little lax about it, and when the tulip foliage started appearing this January, I hadn't sprayed it, and the deer ate it flat to the ground. You bet I was out there spraying as soon as I noticed it eaten. I know that the foliage comes up way before the actual stems and flowers, so I should be ok..but I am sure the bulb will miss the food that those leaves would have been gathering up for next year's productions.

That's what happens when I get a bit comfortable in the winter. Oh well, just glad I started spraying two years ago. I never did before and between the rabbits, groundhogs and deer...well, you know the story. Gool Luck, I'd spray if I were you.
