The next time I spray the food plots I’m going to use that wand on the sprayer and hit some of that stuff. The back of the dam was all fescue 10 years ago. The briars invaded first, then the autumn olive, then the trees started. In the past I put toradon (I’m sure I butchered the name) on the freshly cut stumps. But the autumn olive, and locust seem to be immune to it.
Spraying does seem like a lot less work. I’m feeling it today.. Ha! Plus less blood loss!


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
