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.


You need an 8' fence. They can jump over a 6' fence. They'll get used to
the lights too, after a while.

How 'bout a paintball gun? Paintballs at close distance (5 yards or so)
hurt a lot and they hardly make any noise.
