For the first time in 40 years, deer ate 18 asparagus tips, apparently didn't like it and didn't come back. No fence around the asparagus. I fenced my main garden for the first time this year. Last year, deer terminated a few tomato plants and all of the peppers. The four foot fence with a dozen softball sized stocking feet of human hair hung from the fence has kept the deer at bay so far. Unsprayed apples are starting to fall from the trees, so that should keep the deer away from the vegetables.
