i heard if you get a set of the dear horns it might help....I try to get a set on a dear on time ..it was hard as hell to do ..the dear kept kicking me and tryied to bite me till i got the 2 sided sticky to stick on there head.... and when it ran away ..I didnt hear a sound .. but some people think it helps //so the next time you in the woods ..you better listen very close for the sound of dear coming and get out of there way....I hope that helps.
