Maple hit hard in last deer rut

Hello, I have about 15 maple trees, October Glory I think, that were hit hard by a Buck or two during last seasons rut.

None of them appear fully ringed, just badly damaged bark. The trees are entering their 3rd year here and are about 15-18' tall.

They have all started either budding or growing leaves.

My questions are:

1. Is the fact they are sprouting buds and leaves proof they will make it?

2. Should I attempt any bandaging of the damaged bark or let nature take it's course? If yes, what material?

Thanks as always.
