[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5887660, member: 20594"] I have one plot that has heavy shade down one side and Ive been able to establish clover over that portion of the plot but it does get some sun during a portion of the day....when you mention underbrush and shade....are you talking about a wooded area under canopy? If so that may be challenging to plant....but if it is an area under a timber canopy...you can manage the natural vegetation, forbs, etc. and generate more tons of food and cover that most planted food plots...but even with that plan you're still going to need some sunlight in to the forest floor. May need to consider removing few trees and let the light in....if its an open plot that only get sun a short portion of day you could try buckwheat...it grows well in a variety of conditions....deer will use it some....then let it go to seed and get a second crop...plus turkeys and dove will love it....good luck with your project.
