In my area, the only way to keep the deer from taking the whole garden is to build a really good, 10 foot tall fence. Shooting the deer will get you in REAL trouble if some nosy neighbor sees you dealing with the killed deer.

We don't have much trouble with raccoons, although I have had to shoot some a couple of times.

I have had my best success with raccoons using my 12 gauge with fairly large shot. Nobody seems to care if I blast raccoons! The most I ever got was 5 in a night, but the last several years, I haven't seen any evidence of raccoons around here. Guess they heard I was gunning for them!
