black tarp is mostly to keep the deer out of sight of yer outlaw road riding rat ass neighbors...and keeping the owners out of prison for shooting said rat ass neighbors for shooting the deer.
I'd say that statement right there sums up 99% of the reason the black tarps and tree screens are up. Is is true that a deer will not jump something that they cannot see beyond? I dont believe for a minute the tarps are up to prevent them from trying to jump out but I'd never really thought about "will a deer jump what they cannot see past."
