For Deer a 3 joule or larger Fence Energizer is recommend.
Fence Configurations - Deer
Deer can do major damage to crops or newly planted plants, stripping them down to the ground. The best way to put a definitive end to this is erect an electric fence. A slant fence has been used for many years to protect orchards and nursery crops.

Another alternative is to use a 3D effect fence. In this configuration the fencing is built on an angle facing outward when the deer approach they unsure how to jump such an obstacle, when they try to crawl thru the fence they receive a sharp but safe shock which discourages them from doing so.
This same 3D electric fence application can be utilized in a portable system shown here.,
Mobile fence for deer
A mobile fence is ideal as a temporary or easy-to-move enclosure. It’s also suitable for subdividing large deer parks, or protecting your crops against deer.
A Gallagher Food Plot Protector Fence allows you to achieve both forms of protection. The three-dimensional configuration keeps all species (including deer) out of the plot until it is ready for harvest. By removing the outside fence and changing the wire configuration of the inside fence, you will allow deer into the plot while keeping wild hogs and livestock out of the plot!
