Plant Id and how to kill it

[westtexducks]

Moved to San Angelo recently from the desert of West Texas so dont know any of the plant names. It is some sort of vine with thorns. Want to clear it out from under a huge pecan tree so the animals can get to the pecans and so I can hunt out if the pecan tree. Pics coming shortly.

Looks like what I just call green briar. Only way I know how to kill it is dig up the roots, which will have a "tater like" root.

That looks like greenbriar to me. Deer nip the tops when they're tender.

Greenbrier, very good deer browse.

Never tried to kill it before, but it's just as bad dead as alive (poking and pricking). Long sleeve shirt, good leather gloves and yank it out and clip it at ground level.

24-D or Grazon

This ^^^^ I would not kill it.

Just mow it, don't worry about killing it, just mow it a couple times a year.

This was honestly the answer I was looking for. I was hoping 24D would kill it.

Nope it is gonna die. I don't want to fight it getting in and out of the stand. Plus it will probably climb the stand and at the least take over the couple bottom steps. They can eat on all the rest of this crap that is in other places down the creek.

Besides they will have an all you can eat pecan buffet under that tree here in about a month so not to worried about browse. Plus I am going to be feeding corn about 30 yards from that tree so they will have plenty of feed.

Just mow it, don't worry about killing it, just mow it a couple times a year.

That is way to much work, I hate working a lawn mower in the yard let alone trying to mow this mess. When I can spray it then come in after and knock it out and then keep it beat back with spray yearly why would I deal with a weed eater or lawn mower?

Deer eat pecans??

[lovemylegacy]

That my man is "deer candy", aka Green Briar, aka Cat Claw. I wouldn't kill it. Put your stand up and don't worry about it. I might would trim it back.

Cut with a weed eater and spray cut stick ups right after you cut with 24D. It's easier to pull out of trees when green. Trees around my house were covered in it when we bought the place. Been battling the crap for 3 years now. Digging the root will for sure git rid of it but cutting and spraying makes a big difference.

Green briar.
Remedy mixed 2 oz per gallon will kill it.
