In the PNW people seem to have good luck with Motion sensors tied to
a solenoid water valve. When the motion sensor detects something ,
it turns on the water to a sprinkler. The deer go somewhere to eat
where they do not get wet.

Superb ! I have a motion sensor from a light that I thought had
failed , turned out it was burned out bulbs . It has a photocell
buuilt in so it won't come on in the daytime , and that's just what
I need .

Squirt some black RTV in the hole to the sensor, or just bypass it.

Why ? They don't come around in the day time , almost always at night or
dusk/dawn . I can somewhat control the light level needed by where I aim the
sensor - IIRC that p-cell has a movable device to block all or part of the
light needed to trigger . I'll have to dig it out of the box of electrical
stuff and see just what I have .
