Default Lawn Grass deer will eat????

I live in southern MS and I have about a two acre area that will soon be my back yard. I want to plant something so me and my wife can watch the deer but I still want a nice lawn. I have done soil test and fertilized the area about 3 months ago. I am looking for a grass that I probally will mix with clover to plant my yard. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We have a lot of clover in the front and back yards and the deer are in it all the time .We did put in some rye grass but the clover is the main one .

Plant a small garden back there, guarantee they'll be in it.

A clover type cover is going to be your best bet along with a perrinial rye grass...Good luck..
