The Durana Clover would be a good choice because it does well in dry conditions and takes heavy browsing.....just don't give up on Clover all together if You want something to grow in low sunlight areas or as mentioned to last longer for several years.The Deer will travel and eat in many different areas and other Properties if they feel safe,have good cover/bedding and water!

Try different Food Sources to see what works in Your area,don't limit Yourself to 1 food crop type.The Rape and Brassicas is more of a leafy plant with roots instead of large bulbs like a Turnip or Raddishes and is probably related to the Turnip Family,Deer love them and will browse occasionally....as it gets colder in the Fall and it gets hit with frost the sugar content goes up and the Deer hit it even hard so don't give up on it when You think it's not attracting Deer!

The Turnips and Raddishes stand up well to colder weather because the main Plant/bulb is under ground,I'm also told these plants help break up hard tough soil and Deer will eat the bulbs later on in the Winter months!
