I’m just throwing this out their in case your not familiar with it, the deer are absolutely hammering the Locust beans right now in NE Tx/SE Oklahoma. They’ve been falling the last week and the deer have been piling in to vacuum them up. If you find a tree’s with beans you need to be hunting it now.

I spent ten hours in September fighting them with a chainsaw. The pods make it easier to identify which ones will be dropped.
Even wearing chain saw chaps I got poked.
I don’t care if The deer hammer them or not, not worth the rampant spreading, the thorns, and the flat tires. Thorns are way worse than any mesquite around.

If there were a magic spray to instant you get rid of them I would even if those pods were gold, lol
I hate those things. I had heard the stories of how much the spread but didn’t listen. I started grubbing them up and piling them. The next yr they multiplied 10x with little ones sprouting everywhere. I’m just going to try a prescribed burn soon to hopefully wipe them out. Between those and poison oak I’m really starting to loose my taste for north eastern Texas.

Yes thr Honey Locust, most of ours have little to no thorns but we took out most of the black locust and any tree with lots of thorns. We just pulled the cards this morning and even the old mature deer are hammering them but the pigs don’t seem to touch them which is a good thing. I know most people hate any Locust tree but if you have any with beans this year and your not hunting them your missing out on a great early season opportunity.
