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.
