Daffodil Plant Being Eaten

As my daffodils are coming up some of the leaves are being eaten down to the ground. I had 2 plants in full bloom for a week and this morning they were also eaten down to the ground! Flower and all. What can this be? We live in northern WI., and have deer, squirrels, very few rabbits and bear. I thought the plants were poisonous.

Doug says you either have starving creatures or some very sick ones right about now. I'm betting on deer although rabbits could be a possibility. Check for scat-dropping or tracks in freshly cultivated ground to get the answer.
