Electric fencing for deer?

The first few years we lived here, we had lush, beautiful veggie gardens. Then, apparently, word got around in the deer community and they discovered our lush, beautiful veggie gardens. They have been ravaging them every summer since. And we've tried just about everything, including human hair and urine and store-bought stuff. DH is about ready to throw in the towel, but he says he may try one more thing: an electric fence.

He tells me it will not harm the deer, just give them a slight jolt. But the whole concept just bothers me. Anybody else use an electric fence, and are they as "harmless" as DH says they are? AND do they work to repel the deer?
