I love to plant canola. High in protein. The beats are good late in the year in WI. You can never go wrong with clover(red). The deer never seem to leave it. Rape(sp) is good.
I have had my plot sinceMay and it has been a good producer. The beats were planted later though.

What about with not as much sunlight as a field?

Coug,I know there are a few types that will thrive in the shade or heavy canopy. I have a buddy that sets me up with all my seed. He works for a co-op and knows his stuff. I will give him a call and find out what he thinks would be best. I had the conversation with him once and for the life of me I can't remember what he said.
Just on a personal level I have had good results with the red clover in the shaded areas. Now they weren't in the woods just on the north side of a tree line so they got a lot of shade.

Yeah, welcome to the team Rickey. Sounds like youve got a good area to hunt
I took a ride last night and had to walk 200 yards to the soybean plot behind my uncles corn field. I was sneaking up to an irrigation pivot, when I noticed a nice doe only 30 yards from me. She saw me but decided to hang around for 15 minutes and was extremely nervous. Also in that field was another doe, a buck with 12" spikes, and 2 young 4 and 6 pointers. That is going to be a hotspot this season since that is pretty much the only food except for sweet corn which they are harvesting soon, and a small alfalfa field. It sure got me excited for bowhunting though.
