I've built untold miles of fence on farms and as right-of-way markers on Interstate highways. Most of the fence was low enough for deer to easily jump over. However, this article reminded me of one spot in southern WV where a deer wandered into the construction storage area. He looked around until something spooked him and then he began trying to get out. I don't know how many times he jumped into and bounced off the fence, it was almost as if he couldn't see the wire, but he eventually found the gate and ran away down the dirt road leading up to the storage space for fencing supplies and huge machinery used to build the Interstate highways.
