[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1416185, member: 18945"] Hogs aren't helping for sure. They disturb the ground and the roots and the plants respond by sending new shoots up everywhere the ground and roots are disturbed. Like has been said, concentrate on the seed producers but not so much the smaller plants become seed producers. I'm not much on mowing invasive woody plants. Cut one down, 6 will appear for it's wake/funeral. Been my experience that cutting them encourages growth and resprout with the resprouts developing some kind of natural defense or mechanism that makes them nearly immune to herbicide.. Spray. Spray like the wind. Been nearly 3 years since I hooked on to a brush hog. Bigger trees, I either cut and immediately did stump treatment or hack and squirted the standing live trees with remedy/diesel. It's labor intensive but it worked. I used to have a hog problem here too but as I got the brush under control and almost all clean pastures, they don't come here anymore. Maybe the sounders moved on or the neighbors keep them killed off but for whatever reason, I've only seen one or 2 stray hogs in the last 2-3 years and they didn't stay. [/QUOTE]
