It began last year with a small patch of clover and now it's a major
problem taking over the entire front lawn. It also attracts deer that
eat the clover and they then eat the shrubs for desert.
How do I kill the clover without killing the remaining grass?

Actually clover in grass is not such a bad thing, except for the bees.
A broadleaf killer will work on clover, but even better to enjoy deer
burgers.

As a farmer, I know that I can easily get rid of clover by over-grazing it. Not that I want too though - it's far cheaper than polluting fertilizer! Most organic farmers use it in rotation to fix nitrogen.
