Default fertilizer?

Ok guys, last week I put 50lbs of rye seed out on a logging road. The next day I was fortunate, it rained lightly for 8-10 hours. I want to fertilize this plot. Will fertilizer keep deer away for a while? Or will they act like nothings going on?
I have no experience with this so I don't know what to expect. This logging road is secluded and unused. The deer are using it to travel and I have a couple of bowstands along it. Should I go ahead and hunt it after fertilizing or should I wait awhile? My season ends Jan 4th. So I have some time to let it grow and be more attractive to the deer.
