I have to agree with "Tricky" If deer are hungry they will eat almost anything, anytime, anywhere. They tend to be worse in suburban situations that have encroached on forested area.

My friends in PA say they are eating all the new saplings down to the ground in places and no new growth is coming up.

I live somewhat rural and don't have many problems, but there are certain deer gourmet plants I wil stay away from; Yew, tulips, Rhodies, most roses, hostas.

Their eating patterns are extremely tough to figure, my best advice is to rotate several of the products on the market today, and stay away from stuff they love-which varies from region to region.
