The Bark
Deer LOVE to eat the bark from a sap tree....the tree that gives maple honey.
A maple tree can be debarked by cutting into the bark of the tree and then peeling or stripping it away. This is hard on a tree and should only be done when necessary.

Bark is the outer layer of the living tissue of the tree. As the living layer grows it pushes the bark layer to the outside, which stretches and cracks the bark. Bark protects the tree from things that would harm the living tissue of the tree. Dangers include pests such as beetles and termites, and the heat from fires. Bark also slows the evaporation from the living tissues that would make the sap too thick to travel down to the roots. Without bark, many trees could not survive in the hot, cold, pest infested areas that they live in.
it eats insects that it gets from pealing off bark from tree limbs
