Hunting Kudzu

[smokinbass16]

Is it worth it to bow hunt over kudzu? Do deer actually eat it?

20% protein,deer love it.My best early season key places to hunt.I have taken some good bucks in it even after it has turned brown they still will feed on it!

They love it, it will without a doubt be worth hanging a stand over.

Any pics of it? I've heard of it being an invasive plant species, but can't honestly identify it.

Is it reddish-purple on the stalk/trunk? I've found this plant getting destroyed during bow season.

Be carefull in the stuff if you have to track a deer through it. It covers everything. What may appear to be solid ground want be in some cases. I know this for a fact !!!

It is the green leaf/vine plant that takes over everything in it grows over.You see it along expressways alot because people used it to control irregation.

Imported from China in 1876, used originally as an ornamental and then to cover irrosion early last century. Grows up to one foot per day in the summer. Deer love it and live and bed in it. Has an endless supply of fresh growth and tips to feed on and is very nutritious for them.

Sprouts purple flowers in August and dies at first frost. Frequently can see deer feeding on it in the summer in the evening. A great place to ambush them in the evening during early season. Have taken many deer in it over the years.

Its a super food plot that never has to be planted, fertilized or anything, and will grow hardily forever. No one will ever recommend planting it, but if you have some on your hunting property, its a gold mine.

HUNT IT!

#throwback, yall still believe kudzu is a good thing to have for deer? Looked at a tract of land today that had some on it. Actually saw some deer too.

Kudzu is a deer magnet. I have a spot in my neighborhood that’s like an ocean of green. If you have bucks in it, hunt them ASAP. Mine usually left about velvet shedding time. First frost kills it too.

??? some secrets are too good to share! But if the cats out of the bag. Early season got spot

 

[ucfireman]

Plus it smells good when it blooms.

 

[Raylander]

Better hurry up and hunt it! Once the Acorns hit the dirt, they’ll split from that kudzu like the plague!

 

[mtcur]

Just be careful, if you stay in your stand to long it will cover you up and you can't get out. lol
