Default RE: Imperial Clover?

I was at a hunting show yesterday and talked to folks from Whitetail Institute and they said if your plot is 1/2 acre or smaller that Imperial Clover probably isn't the best choice because the deer will literally devour all of it down to the dirt. He did recommend, that in such a case, perhaps planting a row of an annual around the outside to take some pressure off the clover while providing another viable food source. In planting the annual around the edge or something, you can plant some in the spring to help during the summer and then plant something else in the fall (even if its something generic and cheap like turnips) to help during the fall/winter months.
