A lot of FB is spread by browsing deer, Liquid Fence actually works, is cheap and easy to apply, Just spray with small hand sprayer to area on tree they are chewing on, but needs to re-apply after heavy rains, Its made from putrified ege whites but has little smell, it stops the browsing. Might be best as a preventative, dont wait until all your buds are chewed off.
