oh you poor thing. I believe deer have extendable necks. I tried wrapping my trees with 2x4" wire, and the goats/sheep would simply reach their lips through there, grab a tiny piece of loose bark and shred it upward.

I don't know about deer, but I have watched a goat balance perfectly on it's hind legs, for  a min. or 2, and easily reach over 6' tall.

I would recommend what people around here call "lead poisoning" for your deer-- if possible--

in my case I got handfuls of green shoots around the wounded areas..maybe you can select some new growths.

So the deer had a party under the couple semi-dwarf Fuji trees we have
growing.  Meticulously pruned every bud within reach which in some
places is upwards of 5 feet.  So either I have very tall deer, they
stand on each other's shoulders, walk on 2 legs or they are borrowing
my ladder out of the shed.

I guess my question is, will the trees push any secondary or tertiary
buds that might be fruitfull this coming year? I'm pretty ignorant
about all things apple.
