The dang deer got the green beans, watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumbers and

snagged. . . . We're looking into a paint or bb gun to ward off the
deer, the female Border Collie will chase after them but only if she knows
we're watching.

When a dog acts protective of their master's property but does so looking back or only when the master is in attendance, it is likely that the dog is intimidated by the aggressor/trespasser. Border collies are typically exceptional dogs. I think you need one more, to back her up and give her more courage.
