I think it has to be pretty high for western mule deer.
They can jump high and they get pretty motivated by
the end of the dry season when your plants are the only green things left.
Although the garden fence is only 6' and its worked so far.
Half of the apple trees are within a long extension cord stretch, the
others are down the road about 300' away from power.
There are solar fence chargers though.
