I have done that, but a lot of it gets down to timing, durability, and ease - at least at my place. I have planted all kinds of clover, but only now have durana with the exception of one plot of arrowleaf. Spring clovers get utilized very little at my place - everything in the woods is green. I need a clover that can semi withstand the heat and drought of southern summers - durana. I dont care how pretty it is in May - it has to be green in June, July, and August. A lot of my ground floods for several weeks at a time and the clover must withstand that - durana. Must be long lived - I have durana plots going on nine years old. I direct seed wheat into my clover plots with a Woods Seeder in early Oct. I set the disk to disturb about half the ground - and the durana actually seems rejuvenated after doing this. So, at least at my place - it isnt so much just what the deer will eat best - it is what works best for the deer, me, and my land conditions. Durana.
