We tried about 5 different iterations of fencing, everything from the rings of fishing line to 8' mesh "deer proof" fencing. They got through it all, and ate all everything. They saved the "deer resistant" plants for last.
What I did have great success with is a pair of Contech Scarecrow motion activated sprinklers. I have them linked together, about 20' apart, and hooked up to a faucet with a timer attached. The sprinklers are "armed" from about 5pm until 5am.
They've worked great. The deer hate them, the cats hate them, kids cutting through my yard hate them. Sometimes late at night, as I'm drifting off to slumber, I faintly hear the sprinklers go active, and I giggle myself to sleep.

Tried it. Works 50% of the time. Also, much more legal than sentry guns :)
