How cold will brassicas tolerate boys??? I know they like to hit them after a frost b/c any 2nd growth canola here gets walloped after a frost, just wondering if a guy plants some turnips on an acre or so if they'll be any good to the deer after a month of snow and cold.

Your talking some serious cold up there!!
The tops will eventually freeze out but they last thru some pretty cold temps.
The bulbs will last of course and they will dig them up or gnaw at the exposed part.
That's assuming they can dig thru 6 feet of snow up there!
Here's more how mine and a few others fared with our brassicas: Brassicas
