Does anyone know about how to get rid, remove or deter voles, moles, gophers
or deers.

Deer:

Build a deer fence, non-electrified.
Use 10' posts, cedar or locust or other slow rotting wood or buy
8' (minimum) or 10' Steel T-Posts from farm supply outlets. Place the posts about 15 feet apart and attach 6' or 7' foot dogwire (2X4 welded wire fencing, the cheapest available) to it. For additional coverage weave tree branches (cedar is great) within the fencing for additional height .
Or just forget the metal fencing components and use wood posts and rails and weave tree branches within the rails for coverage, replenished as necessary.

Gophers: trap them, relocate or feed to vultures or compost pile

Voles, never seen one. Moles, lik fire ants are Natures little rototillers
