Well PastorB, Marguerite may not be in the US but she is absolutely correct, the only sure-fire way to keep deer off your crop is to erect a TALL (6 ft or better) fence.
Dogs nearby will somewhat deter them but will not completely keep them away. They are a very big problem in a lot of areas of the US, especially New England and the Mid Atlantic states. The population has mushroomed in the last few decades and I blame it on Disney and what I call "Bambi Syndrome"!
