Creating Better Deer Habitat w/ Invasive Species Management

Reclaiming habitat for native plants is one of my favorite habitat management strategies to implement.  It's also one of the strategies I see the most immediate impact from in regards to increasing wildlife carrying capacity, particularly for deer.  I get it, sometimes the task can look daunting.  But I can assure you that it's worth the effort.  Here's an area on the farm I tackled this past fall that was rank with buckthorn.  The hard work is already paying dividends.

* For foliar treatment of buckthorn I treat them with a 5% solution of Triclopyr 4.  For cut stump I treat the stump with a 25% solution of Triclopyr 4/ 75% diesel or crop oil.  I like to mix in applicator dye with both solutions to see where I'm spraying easier.  You end up using less chemical if you mix in dye.
