This year I planted a mix of clover, chickory, oats and peas. Our deer didn’t touch it. I am sure they will hammer it in February though. Too many acorns and browse or other patterns I suppose. The deer would literally walk through the fields without stopping. Not much on camera at night either.

We hold a lot of deer in the summer with beans and corn and then lose them as soon as they pick. I planted about 8-acres worth of fields in various locations in an effort to tweak their patterns. Didn’t help. I plan to give them 3 seasons before I make a decision on it.
