In connecticut the deer have eaten, severely, my young chestnut trees.   They nibble at the adult Dunstan Hybrids, but they mangle the seedlings and American seedliings.

I have some Carpathian walnut trees that the deer don't bother much though when they can they use their horns on the trunks.

They don't seem to eat the Black walnut native types.

Best of luck with small trees and deer.....advise placing very tight electric fence BEFORE attempting plantings.
