If I added a couple of strands higher up and baited them with peanut butter or something so the deer would taste it, get a little shock and learn to stay away from the area rather than jump over, then yeah. At least that's how the local arboretum protects its saplings.

But I'd need a bigger charger, for one thing; and for another, I have my doubts that the deer would really be deterred from jumping over. The enclosures at the arboretum are a lot smaller IIRC. Without that final strand of twine at the top and the shiny crinkly strips of aluminum foil, they go right over any low spots that sag below about 7.5'.
