Presumably making a wide fence (one that has some depth) deters them. I
don't know if the angle pieces used on some fences (usually with barbed
wire) would be sufficient or whether it means some sort of double fence
(probably expensive). I have not tried it personally but have heard several
times from multiple places (I know, that doesn't make it true). Deer are
often very determined and clever especially when food is in short supply.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing really works except fencing. A
neighbor across the road has an open permit that lets him shoot as many
deer in his resident herd as he needs to keep them from destroying his

periodically, but after a few weeks the deer just discounted this.
Local vineyard.s have gone with 8-foot-high fences to protect their
grapes - may be the only way
Depends on the deer. Many Mi white tail can go right over an 8' fence
and a good 8' fence is expensive!
