Something is Eating the Bottom Branches of my Plant

i have been noticing over the past couple of days that a few of the bottom branches of my biggest plant have been looking as if they've been chewed on, and some are even completely gone. i'll include pictures, but does anyone have a solution to this besides a fence? at first i though it was deer that were eating at it, but seems unlikely, because its only one small branch that is tucked under the plant. there is also a branch that was bent by something. should i leave it and see if it heals? or should i just pluck it off?

i've seen on here that people talk about human urine working as a repellent, so i'll try it out, but im not sure if these suburban animals are at all scared of human scent. any help would be great, and would help me keep my crop safe through the end of the season.

here are the pictures, and i outlined in red the ones that are a little difficult to see at first.
