Do deer eat peanuts?

A friend of mine here in Kansas has been trying to grow them in the vicinity of my hunting stands. They ate the plants this summer, but I was wondering if we didn't harvest all of them, would deer paw the nuts out of the ground when winter hit? I'm wondering if they would make a decent late season food plot if we left some of them in the ground. They seem to be only two-three inches into the soil.
