LittleChief, No offense taken!! The difference in your lawn and a food plot is much different, trying to get clover established with grass competition in a food plot is extremely difficult and one of the main reasons is, not gonna be using a lawnmower to keep it cut 1 in tall every week or so. Most desirable clovers for a food plot will not survive being cut low or that often. By not cutting a food plot but once or twice a year, it lets the grass out compete the clover for sunlight and nutrients, and eventually the grass will win.

Most likely, you have White Dutch Clover or Bur Clover in your lawn. And they can be extremely difficult to get rid of, they have an aggresive root system and they most likely have gone to seed many times and the seeds stay viable in the ground for a very long time.

If you use 2,4-D, make sure its not 2,4-Db. A 1/4 cup of 2,4-D per gal sprayed once per month should do it. Or look for chemicals with dicamba or MCPP (mecoprop) and once you kill the clover, (its gonna take awhile), you could use a pre-emergent herbicide to control the new seedlings from sprouting, such as Dimension, Pendulum, Surflan or Treflan.
