Yes, I use this currently.  I also add pig tails of wire that drop at  
random heights 12" to 24" and popcans.  All of which is electrified by  
contact.  It is roughly 1 mile of single wire at 4'.  It is charged by  
a 22 mile charge and when pulses sends about 15K v.

In addition to this I put whirlygigs up around inside the perimeter of  
the fence and move these every seven days.

None of this will stop a dear in a drought when you are running things  
on irrigation.
