deer pruned plant for me, whadda think?

lol hey guys. just got back from checking everything, and noticed that about 2-3 of my plants, which are (or were) about 2-2.5 feet, had the tops munched off. looks like a damn deer did it, only thing i could think of that could reach that high (there in buckets). my question is, could this be the same as topping or pruning a plant? the top part of the plant is completely gone, and the shoots look like they are pretty clean cut. the plants look fine color wise and arent drooping. it also looks like 2 shoots have started, but im not sure if it is a truly new shoot or just one of the branches that was attached to the top of the plant growin beside the main stalk, you know? do you think she will survive? and do you think it will grow 2 new shoots? i would think so because what is the difference between cutting the top off with scissors and having it eaten away? what do you think, thanks alot.

ps- they have about 4-5 weeks before they started to flower, if it is a prune like cut, would it still have time to recover and begin growing?

 

They should be fine. It is an amazingly tough plant.

 

Here, here! Just remember that the deer will be back for seconds! Be ready to deal with that.
