Default how do you...

keep deer from nibbling on tree bark/branches?
we've done logging in the llamas winter pasture & removed all
the pine.
we had a good bit of the branches left for the llamas & goats
to browse, but, of course, they've suddenly discovered there
are sugar maples in the pasture (which they never bothered in
the 5 years i've winter pastured them there). i seem to recall
something that tastes nasty that could be sprayed or painted
on the trees. am i imagining things or is there such a thing?
i can put mesh fencing around the trunks, but that won't keep
them from eating the branches. i can't move them to the other
pastures until the ground thaws enough to refence.
any ideas?
