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
