Another thread was talking about scarecrows of various kinds. The thing about scarecrows is, they're usually just static objects that don't move.
I got to wondering, how would one of those inflatable dancing men type thingies work, maybe if set up on a motion detector near my garden? One of these, perhaps with a spotlight on the same switch that would light the thing up... I can see how it might scare the deer away, but it wouldn't be there until they approached and it would definitely be an animated type thing, not just a motionless figure. If a radio or tape player got hooked up to the same outlet, I can see how there could be noise associated with the wild movements of "air man".
Dunno, whatcha think? Wild idea? Or might it actually work?
(This is just an example of one possibility. I'm sure there would be others.)
