Grant, You are so spot on with this video. Addressing invasive plants/trees, maintaining trails, and trimming trees around the edges of food plots is a never ending task but it gets us outside and gives us some exercise. My only tip would be "don't be afraid to hire a professional". When I purchased my property the internal roads were so washed out you could hardly ride an ATV on them. I tried building berms with a shovel and making wooden dams to slow the water but eventually gave up and hired a dozer. He did the entire job in half a day, put in berms, widened the roads and improved a creek crossing. Now I just have to keep up on the maintenance.

i liked this video because not everyone has time or money to complete a big task. But like you said, small projects each year can make a huge improvment. cheers Growing Deer TV!!

Pro tip. Fill ANY open metal sections of a tree stand with gap filler. Wasps will make their nests in there!

Maaan I didn't realize how terrible the sericea lesedeza invasion here is in the southeast! They're EVERYWHERE so prolific I genuinely thought they were a native species. You learn something new everyday. Btw we might not have to worry about chinese privit much longer cause my deer on my property here in North Carolina have been observed multiple times now browsing established privit bushes and munching on new seedlings coming up! Hopefully my crazy deer get some ideas and start eating the sericea lespedeza

Deer will consume privitt but not the taller limbs and privitt makes a lot of seeds!

@@GrowingDeerTV Of course! I don't think any force on this earth be it god, or man can actually fully get rid of privet but I hope one day we get to the point where it's able to be controlled by man and wildlife and stop the invasions advance or at least slow it LOL

We burned a field this year and bunch of locust trees have came up. What's best way to terminate them?

Tordon works well on honey locust.

No problem with using sprays in moderation. Problem with walking directly into wet sprayed areas as you are spraying. Why get it on your clothes and shoes if you don't have to? 48oz pump up sprayer still the ticket to hack & squirt. Way more control and less mess.

Herbicide? Why risk messing up your native plants and pollinators? Smart young land managers are learning to just make a few trips with trimmers every year. Ive tortured my Canada thistle on many acres and they're 99% gone. Cheap, easy, and oddly satisfying. Monsanto says this is futile - they're dead wrong!

Marty - Mowing doesn't terminate many weeds, especially grass species. Mowing uses lots of fuel, wear and tear on equipment and results in added soil compaction. There are always tradeoffs.

@@GrowingDeerTV good point. Just don't always assume you need roundup when a portable trimmer can do just as well if not better when herbicides just get washed off in the rain. Lymphoma is no fun.
