Either way you better roundup the whole field so you don’t get caught hunting over bait

I agree with Alex and Paul....

Wow, you guys knew it on sight, I've never even heard of Curly Doc....:bow:
What's up ???? Doc .
Thanks everyone curly doc it is. There is several acres of it and almost all of the plants have been grazed.

This time of year the sugars in the root system rise to the leaves making them a treat for the deer just like turnip and radish leaves do. I've got a lot of younger polk plants that the deer are hitting hard on the smaller leaves on the tops.
