Thanks for the warning! The corn will be up soon, and I have some
electric fencing that will be going around the garden.

Will a low electric fence deter the deer, or will I have to put up
something they can't jump over?

Seems as though the electric fence will motivate them to jump that much
higher !

Deer easily clear their own height from a standing jump; you'll need at
least a 6-foot high fence. Orchard owners put up permanent 10-ft high
fences in the Pac NW to keep out the large mule deer (who love apples
even more than horses and mules do.)
