Just to add something,
This is a very unusual year with the snowfall and temps. Even though we've had over 40" of snow, the inland lakes are frozen, and the river even froze once, we have only a few inches on the ground with some bare spots. My clover field that would normally be under snow right now by 2-3', is exposed in some areas and the deer are here in January for the 1st time in a long time.

The deer are really hiting the clover hard where it's is exposed. The clover completely covered isn't getting hit, but anything showing, and anything next to it is being eaten to the dirt.

This was as of last Thursday. Over the weekend the weather turned back into the 20's and we've had a little snow-I think the deer will soon be gone for good, but it was neat to see the flury of activity on the clover.
