The spicebush should be fine. We have tons of them and tons of deer and the latter never bother the former.

I think the Norway Spruce should come through it pretty good as well.

P.S. This is a good time of the year when deer have many other alternatives to eating seedlings. You may not lose many until the tail end of next Winter.
