Deer are creatures of habit. Sometimes you can train them to ignore areas of sensitive plants.
I like to do this with an electric fence early in the season before there are garden plants they'd like to eat.
Sometimes they get a taste for your beans or carrots and then even an electric fence may not keep them out.
Unless you apply this trick...

Watch Out for Rustlers
I woke up at 3:00 am yesterday morning and realized I have left one of the electric fence batteries on the charger and hadn't put it back on the fence at the end of the day. So I got up and took a spin with the four wheeler to put it back on the fence. It only took 10 minutes.
It was a gorgeous night about 65 degrees and little wind so I drove around the fence kinda like a cowboy checking the herd of cattle. Only my herd is 100,000 carrots, three rows of green beans and a couple of hundred watermelon, that the deer would "dearly love" to embibe. All was well so I went back to bed.
The electric fence has worked wonders at keeping the rustlers out of the carrots. I highly recommend it.
