In order to deter deer from a protected area, a baited, shock-producing deer repellent device is provided having an improved electrode configuration with the bare wire alternating positive and negative electrodes being more or less semicircular in shape and with the electrodes being variously sized and arranged to form an approximate hemisphere and with the electrodes being more or less parallel and more or less equidistant from each other. This configuration provides an approximately even chance that a deer will make contact with a positive and a negative electrode simultaneously, regardless of the angle or direction of the deer's approach, or of the size of the deer. The deer repellent devices are baited with a scented oil as an attractant and are deployed such that deer in the protected area will be drawn by the scent to touch the device and so make contact with the electrodes, whereupon the deer will receive an electric shock and be frightened from the area. Deer will then continue to avoid the protected area because of a scarecrow effect provided by the presence of the device and the scent of the attractant.
