There are also many products at your local nursery that claim to repel deer and other critters. You can try them if none of these methods work for you. Just remember, that deer are smart, and once they realize they won't be hurt by your tactics, they may return, so it's important to change things up every now and then to keep them guessing, or use more than one method at a time.
You can also put in plants that deer don't like. Just keep in mind that if they are hungry enough, deer will eat nearly anything. Here is a list to get you started. If you have Excel, you can download a more complete list here.
