Remember, we say deer 'resistant' and not deer 'proof'. Younger plants may be at greater risk of being eaten and younger deer may eat anything in sight as they learn what they do and do not like. And, of course, the plants are not resistant to being stepped on (or slept on!) by deer, elk, or even dogs.
