Deer got my Yucca, and of course every bud they could reach on my apple trees, as well as every leaf on my strawberries. I have an electric fence that I use, but haven't put it up yet, so they are also eating my daylilies right now. They will also eat columbines and tall phlox, and they especially like daylily buds!
You can use Milorganite, which is short for Milwaukee Organic Nitrogen, and is just dried pelleted sewage, and it does work as a fertilizer, but it sure smells. Anything that stinks will work, but I have to caution you about using some of the expensive deer away stuff that is made from urine, as it can seriously burn plants when used directly on them. Even Avon will work! I will often use Gain fabric softener in my sprayer when it is just a small area, and spray fairly often, especially after a heavy rain. Milorganite is very reliable though and can be found at some Lowes home supply stores.
