I have a deer (or a very large rabbit) eating hostas in our back yard.
Would a motion detector security light scare it away? I don't want to put
any poisons or other such things out there.


It would scare it away for about 4 days until they figure out it's harmless.
I know this from experience. There are only two ways to stop deer. Fences or
guns. Some people say get a dog, but then you're just trading one annoyance
for another and ****ing off your neighbors.
