Electric fencing can work. I have not had much experience using it for deer. Used properly it can be very effective for bear and mountain lion.
Nebraska has done a great job compiling damage mitigation measures for various wildlife species. This
link will take you to a manual that has been quite helpful for me. The mother website has changed significantly since I last visited it, but the manual appears to be very similar, if not the same. One measure I know of and I don't recall where I heard or read is that to train deer to the fence one should wrap small rectangles of aluminum foil around a hot wire and then coat it with peanut butter. I've not seen it myself, but would imagine the it would "learn 'em purdy good".
Take care,
