I believe deers taste varies widely even in between individuals and I'm aware about the problem you guys are having with hosta.
I can report that so far I had no damage at all on the spring bulbs and I have observed fresh deer tracks, not among the bulbs, but in the kitchen garden. I take this as positive, but obviously still to early to tell. I'll treat some more stuff this weekend, including a pot of blooming tulips from the greenhouse that will be put outside and see how the deer feel about this delicacy.
