Sweet corn gets hit fairly early. Try planting a tall field corn variety with good root and fall stalk strength. These should stand through most of the winter and maybe provide some winter forage. If these too get trashed prior to maturity ... you need to lower the deer population to "make it a bit easier for the critters" that are left.
