Ok, how do you get a food plot to grow under trees?
Location: South facing area in the most open area you can find. If I can get in there and have room to maneuver the Mule and drag around, it's good.
Seed: Cool season, fast growing shade tolerant varieties.
Timing: Plant right before the leaves start to drop.
Plenty of fast acting lime and fertilizer.
They usually fade out once the trees start to green back up in the spring but these are basically small kill plots. I usually put the youth/first time hunters in them.
