We bought a 12volt 15 gallon sprayer and it doesn't take long at all. They cost around $100 but are so easy to use if you have a lot of vegetation. Also use it foliar feeding. We raise 5 head of cattle and it is used to spray fertilizer on the pastures.
If you have any type of sprayer try this on some of the plants that the deer bother. 1 gallon of water, 1 teaspoon of dishwashing soap, 1/4 cup of syrup (molasses is better) and neem oil. This will deter the deer and keep some bugs away also. Good luck
