Default archery season plot??

the deer are hitting the standing corn hard now . Hunted over the 1.5 acre corn plot 3 times this week. Thursday had 12 deer in it at one time including 2 small buck. I seen more deer in one hour on stand that evening than the whole season combined. They would run across the road and though 150 yards of big timber to get into the corn 1/2 hour before dark. We have had about 15"s of snow on the ground for about 6 days. The snow has brought the deer in and even a couple of bear. Now i hope the big ten point heads to the corn before it is gone or the season runs out (ends dec21.) got the ten on trail cam last week at 11pm.
Now i wish i would have planted more corn. I am going to have to plant something that will draw the deer in when there is no snow. The 1.5 acres of clover has not been very good draw. Any suggestions? I have a 4 acre field that is mostly golden rod and has the clover planted in it now. i want to make a it destination plot. What should i plant that will draw the deer in during archery season. I want to keep the other 2 fields in corn due to stand entrance and exit. Any ideas???

You may want to try a mix of brassicas, rye and rape, or any combination of cereal grains. Hope this helps. Mark
