This type of sturdy mesh fencing is practically invisible from more than 20 feet away. It is best used in an informal natural area. It will need maintenance on a regular basis to make sure it is intact.

Wire fencing is also good to deter deer. Note the use of the wood chip barrier on the side of the fence that faces the tick safe zone.
