Bambi Is Killing My Garden

First it was the sunflowers. I built a bamboo fence around a second planting and the deer still had a feast on the sprouts. Now Bambi is eating my one tomato plant. And it was doing so well. It is eating the leaves off of my melons vines

I am having evil thoughts towards Bambi. Fortunately he/she does not eat squash or zucchini. Other pests are munching on my pepper and okra plants. The deer strike at night. I have a photovoltaic-powered light on at night but that does not seem to be a deterrent. I had small rocks at the tops of bamboo reeds to drop down if they were touched. That did not work. I might have to go electric fence - - photovoltaic with battery next year.
