Do deer eat Habanero Pepper plants?

I have some really good soil and by accident I grew Habaneros there (the seeds I bought as Ancho/Poblano weren't), and the deer that pass through that part of our property didn't touch those habaneros? was I just lucky?
I have major deer and woodchuck problems on my closer to the house garden, and I wonder if I interplanted desirable peppers with surrounds of Habaneros, if the Habaneros would be deer deterents?

It wasn’t a coincidence. They will most likely not touch it

Not sure but they definitely eat banana pepper and cucumber plants

Woodchucks chucking wood?

In this part of the country they're called Whistle Pigs and often are smoked for best flavor development. Sadly, my husband has hit the side of our barn and missed the family of woodchucks many times.
Can you turn Woodchucks into a rhyme that tells that one of them can wipe out twenty four mature plants of Tomatillos in one night? Previous years, they'd left them alone, this year they discovered their newest, bestest main course.

I’d officially declare war on them after something like that. Have you tried trapping them? I understand that can be tricky based on what I’ve read. Apparently sprinkling blood meal and black pepper around the perimeter of your garden is a deterrent.
Is your garden fenced in? I’d consider that, if not. Might help with the deer. Also, motion activated sprinklers. One sprinkler strategically placed has helped keep squirrels out of my garden. Fortunately they’re my biggest problem (besides insects). Deer will eat hot peppers. But not if you have something more desirable to them nearby.

I finally gave up. They would pull the peppers (habos & jalapeno) off the plant and chew the leaves down to the stalk. All that was left were bitten peppers on the ground.
Only thing they wouldn't eat was basil & rosemary.

Well, at least he can hit the barn. It could be worse.
Put the habaneros in a juicer or blender, put in water with a little dishwashing liquid and spray it on the plants that you want to keep safe from whistle pigs and deer and other mammals. You will have to reapply after rain and significant new growth. And make sure to wash everything well before eating.

How many tomatillos could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck tomatillos? Or Habaneros? Apparently the answer is 24

Is this like feeding tuna, mayonnaise?

He must have terrible aim as woodchucks aren’t small!

You're right, they aren't small because they are well fed. But they are fast and skitterish whenever they hear a door or window open. Ours seem to have mastered broken field running.
