Then to get rid of the big cats you will need elephant droppings!

Here's what you do: encircle the garden with monofilament fishing line -
use the strongest test you can find. Place it about chest-high to the
deer. They will feel it but can't see it!
You only need one strand.

No big cat shit in my local zoo.

Fortunately you can get those at the zoo too.
Actually, there aren't a whole lot of places in the US that have big cat
problems (Garfield notwithstanding), and they tend to keep the deer in check
where they do live.

That's shocking. Maybe croc poo would work.

Crocs dont poo in a way that you can collect it.
And they dont have any crocs either.

Try cleaning the restrooms more often so the crocs will be willing to use them.
You'll find a way if you really want to.

I assumed Europe from the "hedgerow" thing, and I was suggesting that YOU use
croc poo. There are obviously very few crocs in Europe.
A common way of getting rid of excess deer in the US is to wait until they
start to cross a road and then run them down with your car. Far more sporting
than shooting them, there's a chance that the driver and his passengers will
actually die in the encounter.

Mirrors? I would worry that a buck would attack the "other" buck!
