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.
