I grew a small test strip if sunflowers along the inside of my fence where the deer couldn't get to them. They seem to be a hell of lot easier to grow that way.......
A lot of folks with small acreage plots are beginning to invest in E-fence set-ups just for this purpose. This may be a good option for folks who want to grow summer crops of things like sunflowers but can't due to deer browsing pressure. Deer browsing can have a significant impact on your results.
