Poor maples! I usually like deer...but not when they eat Japanese
maples. :-(

Best thing to do is to pot them in a container that won't freeze like
terra cotta will. Plastic is fine. Put the maples in an unheated
garage or basement after they have dropped their leaves for winter.
Since they don't have leaves they don't need light. You should also
cover the pots with mulch or something to insulate the roots so they
don't freeze during severe cold.

After the last frost has passed it's okay to bring them out again in
spring.

and shoot the deer it is the game season ..
