They're hard on agapanthus.

It wouldn't hurt to differentiate between white-tailed deer and
mule/black-tailed deer.  We (Seattle) have black-tailed deer.  From what
I've read, white-tailed deer persecute conifers and rhododendrons, which
ours won't touch.  Not that ours are polite.  Perhaps if people specify
which species they are harboring, we will learn other feeding differences.
