BOB(buck on the bag) seed is way over rated and over priced.  I went to the store and bought a bag of horse food oats and planted in aug.  The oats never got taller than 3 inches tall.  The deer grazed it every day and i only paid 7 dollars.
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

We planted oats too early one year and they were starting to head out when it froze, deer didn't touch it. We should've mowed it I think a few weeks before first frost. Most cereal grains like oats, rye, winterwheat, you want to plant in August so they don't get too tall and tough. Good luck!
