Welcome to All Things Plants,
@revamaskew !
Deer can definitely be a problem. I live in the middle of a cedar swamp, lots of deer in our area... and yet, even though we only have a 2-1/2-foot-high fence around the garden (to keep the bunnies and our dogs out), we very rarely have any problem with the deer. I think it's because I have lots of "structures" in the garden... trellises, big wooden tomato cages, a plastic covered hoop house, a big hoop trellis... basically, my belief is that if a deer is afraid that it will somehow get trapped, it won't jump into a garden.
