The deer are gone

Are you talking the Blackland Prairie area? I am bout 2 hrs west of Austin in Mason, Texas.

You don't need to cut the wire, just pull the top two pieces together.  Dont even need to be all that much.  If the top is even a little lower than the rest of the fence they will use it, or even if the gap between them is a little wider, it's amazing what a deer can squeeze thru.
