Rob, depending on your deer numbers corn is hard to beat. You have to have a plot big enough to last till this time of year however.

The deer have been and are still hammering my winter rye plot. It works better than buck oats for me so far and buck oats worked pretty good.

Also there are forage soybeans from eagle seeds in ark. that everyone that has tried them swears by them. They can grow up to 60 to 70 inches and claim to be able to handle heavy browsing while green.

I also tried (with very good luck) rr beans then when the leaves stared turning yellow (first of sept) broadcast winter rye in them. It worked great and is something I will do again this year. I gettwo great food sources on the same acreage, and thats good when you have limited ground to plant.
