I'd recommend the Ladino as well. There's a new variety out called Durana. It seems to be a little more hardy than the standard ladinos and holds up better to grazing. I've got some planted and it has done very good. Alyce clover is great for a spring/summer planting but it will die come the first frost. If you're in an area that doesn't get a frost until late in the season it might be a good choice. Alfalfa works well if the soil conditions are right but sometimes it can be a real pain to get it established. With the amount of land you are going to plant try several different types of plantings. This will give you a better idea of what the deer really like and which one grows best in your area. Talk to the guys at your local feed/seed store. If they know what they're doing they can help you out a bunch with your selection.
