Default Weird Question on Planting

OK you guys who know me from the other post know I'm a bit excentric.
Anyway there is this small acreage I hunt. It has a 2 acre grown over field. This past year In bow aeason I new deer were passing thru the field.But the weeds were so high (6 ft) all I seen was the weeds moving on their skinny paths. So between bow and the gun season I took my garden tractor there and used the snowplow 1 inch off the ground and plowed down some of the field so I could see better. The majority of the weeds are them tall brown ,Hollow stemmed things with a fuzzy top.So they broke off real easy.And their root systems are very shallow.Alot pulled right out of the ground. If I go back and put my snow plow down lightly on the ground and rough the area up exposing the good looking rich soil. What could I spread in there that would grow and attract the deer and last the longest????? I live in Pa. By the way plowing that field worked ,could see the deer and filled the freezer.I knew the deer were there ,but there is no food source around for miles.I figure planting something in there would really attract the surrounding deer. Thanks
