Just let it regrow naturally? Spray it and throw some seed out for summer plots? I don't have a ton of time to go back and forth due to baseball and soccer and finally have a free Saturday to get something done before its 100 degrees.
Your plots look identical to mine. I assume there’s some clover beneath the wheat and that’s what the deer are actually eating.
What I’m doing is spraying clethodim because it will kill only the wheat and oats, which have gone to seed anyway. I’m hoping this also kills off all grasses and lets the clover dominate. It would help to clip it but at this stage it’s not completely necessary, a month from now it would be. I’ll seed at the same time with cowpeas, alyceclover, and vetch. The cowpeas are cover and I don’t expect them to make it much past sprouting, the other two do well in the heat with vetch being slower to establish. I’ll come back in a month and hit it again with clethodim to control any grass competition.
Fairly low effort and it produced well last year into the drought, which is realistically what I hope to achieve.

I’ll probably just cut it high to help the clover thrive and then spray.

My food plots are identical to yours. Very tall wheat with clover and turnip/radish underneath. Been trying to figure out what to do
