Are they resistant? No. If a deer is hungry they will eat anything. Our winters have been to mild so the food is not as plentiful to support the survival rate to keep them from eating things that they do not like or are suppose to be poison.
So resistant only means if there is something else that they like they will not eat but once their first choice is gone they go on to eat "Deer Resistant". They just cannot resist when they are hungry.
