I am lucky to have all of my taps uphill from the sugar house, and they run right in on gravity. Years ago when we gathered the lower woods with a tractor, we just accepted the damage at the field crossing as a fact of life, and cleaned it up, harrowed it over and seeded it every spring. And this was right across a hayfield, not pasture. Finally one year one of our hay customers defaulted on his payments, but he just happened to own a gravel pit and a truck. The bill got cleared up, and a good graveled track got laid down along the fence line, end of trouble.
If it is possible to leave your gathering rig right in the woods, you could set up a pump and temporary pipeline across the pasture, either to the sugar house or another hauling vehicle.
I personally have had very little trouble with deer damage to tubing. They can usually avoid it, or jump over unless, they are running from something. Moose, on the other hand, just plow through everything, tubing, electric fences, barb wire, even page wire if it is old and rusting away. Squirrels chew the tubing when it is up, mice get it if it gets knocked down under the snow, and coyotes will chew it and play with it. Once they break it and find it sweet, they go nuts with it.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
