Deer are gone!

Deer are gone!
I live in Pepper Pike, Ohio. Our yard backs up to a stream and woods. Over the past decade we have been inundated with deer. Plants that usually are referred to as "deer proof" have proved vulnerable to deer consumption (example: Joe Pye Weed, Monarda and Sweet Bay Magnolias). We also have plants that they traditionally love - Hostas, anemones, sedum, and every annual known to man. We have used sprays (every week) and rotated them accordingly. Last year - total annihilation by mid July. And we even have a German Shepherd Dog - which they seem to know won't be out all the time. My husband was discussing with neighbors hiring bow hunters to thin out the populations which is now allowed in the city. Instead, we tried the Contech Scarecrow. We installed three of them across our back gardens. We followed people's suggestions about the assembly with rubber gaskets and we check them repeatedly so they don't leak. FANTASTIC results. I have never seen the hosta bloom before. Now the biggest issue is the deer haven't destroyed the back garden -but the weeds are also protected. I will take the weeding over destruction. Please see photos attached. In the last picture you can see the contech head sticking up near the walk way. These pictures were taken from the second story deck - so the spray head looks really small. Thanks for a great and humane product. Update - one year later, the deer have changed their roaming pattern and now I watch them skirt the yard to avoid the water shot.
Thank you for your feedback
