Sort of.  My parents had hosta beds that the deer LOVED. My father and I put electric fences around everything but we constantly needed to maintain them as the plants grew because the leaves would touch the wires and create a short (especially if rainy).  Plus the beds were maybe 10 feet in diameter and the deer would always try to jump the fence to get into the interior... many times with disastrous consequences.

 

You do need to maintain some degree of plant control. A higher power fence charger can actually kill / burn plants that touch the wire.

 

For deer control there is 3D wiring method.
