This design is electric, but it may work without electrification. At least worth a look:

I tried electrifying. Had wires spaced 6 foot high. They would still destroy our winter crops.

Finally I said enough and put an 8 foot high fence using netting wire. No more problems

Electric fences work. This seems a good and efficient design.

Our family had a vineyard surrounded by woods. Deer were a major problem. Hair, urine, blood, etc. did not work. A three d electric fence solved the problem. The charger as a quarter mile away, therefore no chance of hearing the clicks.

The fence must have depth to work. We used long tee posts driven at about a 45 degree angle. Buy the hottest fence charger you can find (be ready to spend a couple hundred bucks). Drive at least four six foot ground rods, and water the grounds every week.
