I've had real good luck with radishes. I hope the deer will leave them alone until they develop some root mass. Normally deer will eat the tops early in the season. If they do and you are in Iowa, top seed with some winter rye or winter wheat. Oats will die as soon as you get a few nights in the 20's. WR and WW will grow in colder weather and give you some food all the way into next spring. Good Luck and post some PICS if you can.
