Default RE: food plot in the woods

ORIGINAL: outdoorsmen

I've been kicking around an idea about putting a food plot on my property. my problem is that it is solid woods, I don't own any fields. the only "open" area i have is my 4-wheeler road. I have been thinking about planting the 4-wheeler road in Biologic clover plus and Hotspot. My worry is the amount of sunlight, or lack of sunlight.

does anyone have experience in foodplots in woods or anywhere that is low light?
You're not going to get much growth from clover on a wooded trail. I would suggest rye. Plant it in September, and depending where you are the leaves should come off the trees in a few weeks and give the rye enough light to grow.
