I use dogs to keep the deer away. it seems to work as there is very  
little deer damage to the market garden despite there being a herd of  
120+ deer in the area.

We run the dogs all night and the deer stay away. We also put dog  
hair on various crops and that also keeps the deer away (I do not  
think this would work if there are not dogs already present on the  
farm).

the dogs we use are 3 mutts that like to run and bark all night
This has worked for us for the past 14 years.
